Country Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Back [Am]in the summer of '91
An [E]angel with a lizard's tongue
Was [Am]scheming for a holy
[E]broken [Am]nose[E]
Linked [Am]to every class of men
[E]Sprung out from the sparkling sins
Lean[Am]ing on the cold electric s[E]tove
On a country [Am]road I
[E]swerved to the [Am]side
Trying to avoid a [E]country
[Am]bumpkin
Everyone's in line to [E]meet
with [Am]the man
Who blatantly inspired his [E]generation[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]When they shake his [Dm]hand and
their fingers explode
Breaking both our [E]necks by
the tips of our toes
Then they turn to [G]me,
cause you died I sup[Am]pose
But I can't seem to [E]glance
fast enough to be sure

[Verse 3]
[E]Back to summer days,
[Am]cold hands[E] on the beac[Am]h
Memories of thrills de
[E]signed to [Am]please you
Down the fragrant path I [E]strayed
towards the [Am]bath
Suddenly I lived to [E]learn to [Am]feed you

[Verse 4]
[Am]Down on bended [Dm]knee,
where I've been for a while
Set the record [E]straight in
the old fashioned style
Never took too [G]much,
though I should have made [Am]more
You are still my [E]friend,

[Outro 1]
though you were not before
[E][Am][E][Am][E][Am][E]
[E][Am]
