      Aaron Traffas - 200 Miles Away


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: C   F    C    F 
  
 C 
 I hear the coyotes calling 
 F                G 
 Their melancholy pierces the night 
 C 
 I feel those wheat fields waving 
 F                         G 
 Calling me with their collective spite 
 F 
 I know tomorrow morning 
 C                  F 
 Fate will dictate my part 
 Dm 
 But I never believed in fate 
         G 
 Because I know the coyote’s heart 

   
 CHORUS:
 C                 F 
 You’re 200 miles away 
                           C 
 On the other side of the state 
                                     F 
 And I’m going round and round in a wheat field 
            G 
 Trying to beat the rain 
 C                                  F 
 The sun goes down, it won’t matter much 
                                            Dm                            
 We’ll keep on cutting ‘till the straw gets tough 
                          G 
 I’ll be free when we get through 
                                    C 
 I'll head back to town and back to you 

  
  
 Outside the chaff is blowing 
 Inside my muscles ache 
 Outside the sun is setting 
 In it I see your face 
 I’ll be damned if I leave 
 Before the harvest moon assumes a crescent shape 
 I’d hit the road with the hammer down 
 If only I could these fetters break 
  
 I see the storm clouds rolling 
 Oklahoma's gift, the rain 
 I see the weather, unlike you
 Never minded the grain 
 The squall line across the field moves 
 Just like your life crossed mine 
 As I roll the tarp I think 
 I should have been done in time
