Turnpike Troubadours - The Winding Stair Mountain Blues

      
[Verse 1]
       Em
Well I turned and shut my eyes

As you let the gravel fly
       Em         D                    Em
When I looked up you had cleared the driveway
         Em
You and your big cloud of dust

All your chrome and all your rust
G              D                  Em
Beggin' to lay scattered on the highway


[Verse 2]
       Em
Well I have not forgotten when we may as well be kin
        Em         D            Em
Raising hell from here to Bryan County
        Em
Wishing I could let you in

Give you shelter from the wind
G                  D                 Em
But that hurricane ain't coming down around me


[Chorus]
        G                  D              Am                   Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G               D               Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
             G                   D               Am            Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
           Em            D      Em
Well the devil's into fine detail


[Verse 3]
       Em
Well I nearly took your lead

With your pistol and your speed
         Em       D           Em
Shoot to kill and plan to be forgiven
       Em
But in between the mill

And whatever deer I kill
G               D               Em
Truth be told I barely make a living


[Chorus]
        G                  D              Am                   Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G               D               Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
             G                   D               Am            Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
           Em            D      Em
Well the devil's into fine detail


[Bridge]
    G           E             Am      G
And you're somewhere in the Winding Stair
G                                 Em
Thinking you still got a trick or two
           Am                 G              D       Em
And you're planning out your fight in the lantern light
     Am                               Em
But I don't see this going well for you
     Am                               Em
No I don't see this going well for you


[Instrumental]


[Verse 4]
         Em
Well the sheriff came last night

Is everything alright?
        Em           D        Em
Ask for any help that I can give
      Em
No we had a falling out

Well then what's this all about
G                       D               Em
They said the man who's shot is gonna live


[Chorus]
        G                  D              Am                   Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G               D               Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
             G                   D               Am            Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
           Em            D      Em
Well the devil's into fine detail
           Em            D      Em
Well the devil's into fine detail
