[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am][C][G][Am]
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Well, [C]the
codeine sure makes it [G]hard to round up the [Am]cattle
And though the [C]light sure does
hurt [G]your tortured [Am]eyes
You keep [F]falling in and out of
your broken [Am]saddle
There's so [C]many knots you've for
[G]gotten how to [Am]tie

[Verse 2]
[C]And the winds willow [G]softly like
a funer[Am]al home
[C]And the dew sparkles [G]like
a baby's [Am]tear
And your [F]hands are softer than
you've ever [Am]known
There's [C]nothing left for
[G]you to [Em]see or [Am]hear

[Verse 3]
And that [F]bloody barbed wire they've
put it up [Am]everywhere
And those [F]summer storms,
they sure do make it shine
[Am]And the [C]dust has changed
the [G]color of your [Dm]hair
[Am]And [C]the wind has changed
[G]the lines around your [Am]eyes

[Verse 4]
And you [F]just can't drink whiskey
[Am]anymore
And there's [F]nothing that'll kill
your endless [Am]heartburn
And that [C]pickup truck is [G]starting
so much [Dm]harder[Am]
[C]And, lately, you've been taki[G]ng
some wrong [Am]turns

[Verse 5]
[Am]
And those [C]survey stakes,
[G]they're on [D]the ho[Am]rizon
And [C]they ain't staking [G]out wells or mines
[Am]And [F]the sight of those machines
could start you cry[Am]ing
And [C]the sounds keep [G]you up in the night
[Am]And [C]the sounds keep [G]you up
in [Am]the night
[C]And the sounds keep [G]you up
in the [Am]night
[C]The sounds [G]kee[Am]p you up in the night
The sounds keep you
up in the night
[C]The sounds[G][Am][C][G][Am]
[C]
[G][Am][C][G][Am]
[C]kee[G]p[Am]
