Blue Head Flame Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Tong[Dm]ue tied,
[Am]said my [G]prayers
20 years or more
Seems like [Dm]yesterday
[Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
Hung your secrets from
[Am]The judas tree
[G]Watched 'em blow down
To the valley floor
Blowin' [Dm]home, [Am]watched
[G]'Em blow away

[Verse 3]
And what I [F]fear is what we [Am]all fear
A [F]fortune lost, a fortune gained
[G]Cursed by the power of the
[F]Blue head flame

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][G][Dm][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Got so drunk, I took[Am] things back
Thing[G]s I never said
Things I never stole from [Dm]any [Am]one[G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Dug in the clay, red o[Am]n my hands
[G]Guilty to the elbows,
Never mind my hands
Kep[Dm]t my nose [Am]clean,
Kept it that [G]way for you

[Verse 6]
Now what [F]I fear, is what we all fear
[Am]A fo[F]rtune lost, a fortune gained
[G]Cursed by the power of the
[F]Blue head flame

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][Am][G][Dm]
[Am][G][Dm][Am][G]
[Dm][Am][G]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Watched the freights from
The [Am]railroad tie
Spun [G]a rusty nail, and I closed
Both eyes
As [Dm]I told my [Am]tale, as the
[G]Freights went by

[Verse 8]
[Dm]Straw of pity on the
[Am]Courthouse stairs
[G]Wait till doomsday, you said
Wait for years
I couldn't [Dm]wait that [Am]long,
I shoulda' [G]killed for less

[Verse 9]
Now what [F]I fear, is what we [Am]all fear
A [F]fortune lost, a fortune gained
[G]Cursed by the power of the
[F]Blue head flame

[Verse 10]
Ya what I [F]fear, is what we all [Am]fear
[F]Humble origins all betrayed
[G]Lost to the power, we were
[F]Lost to the flame

[Interlude 3]

[Verse 11]
[Dm]Tongue tied, said [Am]my p[G]rayers
20 years or more
Seems like [Dm]yesterday[Am][G]

[Verse 12]
[Dm]Got so drunk, I took[Am] things back
Thing[G]s I never stole, things
I never said to [Dm]any [Am]one
I [G]should'a killed for less
