Capo 1st Fret
C D
found your name across the chapel door
G C
carved in cursive with a table fork
G
muddy hymnals
C D
and some bootmarks where you'd been
C D
the shaking preacher told the captain's man
G C
the righteous suffer in a fallen land
G
and pulled the shade
D G
to keep the crowd from peeking in
C D
we found your children by the tavern door
G C
with wooden buttons and an apple core
G
playing house
C D
and telling everyone you'd drowned
C D
the begging choir told the captain's man
G C
we all assume the worst the best we can
G
and for a round or two
D G
they'd gladly track you down
C D
we found you sleeping by your lover's stone
G C
a ream of paper and a telephone
G
a broken bow
C D
across a long lost violin
C D
your lover's angel told the captain's man
G C
it never ends the way we had it planned
G
and kissed her palm
D G
and placed it on your dreaming head
