Curse The Sky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Sometimes in the summer,
it'll lightnin', it'll thunder
But [G]the rain don't seem
to come it rolls [A]on by
Thunder sounds like laughter,
as the lightning hits the pasture
And you [G]know that has lands
been dry for [A]some time
[Am]And it burns[F], [C]and it burns, [G]oh it burns

[Verse 2]
[G]The [Am]river it stopped [A]flowin' back
through [Am]town some time ago
And [G]the train tracks rest below
a bed [Am]of weeds
The truck stop shut its door on the
Day that oil hit a hundred and four
Dollars a bar[G]rel yall then the
Grocery store came [Am]next
and then the bank

[Verse 3]

Oh [F]it burns, yeah [C]it burns,

You [Am]do the things you know to
just [C]to make it day by day
You can [G]hear the kids a cryin',
but there's just [F]no time to play
You [Am]work the way you know how just
[C]the way you've always done
And you'd [G]like to curse the skies that
bring no [F]rain and block the sun
