Intro:
Amaj7-F#m-Bm-E x2
Verse 1:
Amaj7 F#m
It's New Year's Eve
Bm E
and California's gonna kill you soon
Amaj7 F#m
The Barstow boys -
Bm E
Bug eyes in the shadow of the moon
Amaj7 F#m
Black houses in the hills and roadside haunts,
Bm E
dying for a place to fall apart
Amaj7 F#m
Who knew what you could learn to live without,
Bm E
Mother Mary's lying in your mouth, now
C#m F#m Bm
Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine
Amaj7 C#m
And every girl has got an axe to grind
F#m G
You left to look for heaven
F#m Bmaj7 E
But you're far from the heart light tonight
Amaj7 F#m
So quietly we lost another year -
Bm E
the desert put a babbler in your ear
Amaj7 F#m
He will find a way to not miss you again,
Bm E
Barstow boys all spit into the wind
C#m F#m Bm
Back home the hammer always has to fall,
Amaj7 C#m
Cross is barely hanging on the wall
F#m G
Some day I know you'll never leave me
F#m Bmaj7 E
but we're far from the hard light tonight
Amaj7-F#m-Bmaj7-E
