[Verse 1]
Mr. [D]Errol's [A]Song[D][A][D]
Mr. Errol, he lives on [G]the
banks of Lake Arthur
Where your [A]windshield gets [D]foggy,
[A]where your back roads unwind
It's [D]a long way from Shreveport,
[G]not too far from [Bm]Gay don
And it's [A]close to the home
[D]that [G]I l[A]eft behind
[G]It's [A]close to the home [G]that [A]I left behind
[D]Mr. Arrow's a father,
[G]he's a farmer, he's a hunter
And he [D]talks to the ducks
and the geese in [A]the blind
He works [D]hard for the lives
that he [G]hopes to make [Bm]better
And he [D]lives by the graveyard
of the [A]rusted combine
[G]Yeah, he liv[D]es by the graveyard
of [A]the rusted combine
[G]He held my hand
when my [D]boots got too heavy
With [G]the mud from the [Bm]rice field
[A]coming [D]to my [A]be hind
We [D]set out the de[A]coys
[D]in the [G]dark on [Bm]the levee
And we [D]walked through the graveyard
of the [A]rusted combine
[G]Yeah, we wal[D]ked through the graveyard
of [A]the rusted combine
[D]There's coffee and biscuits
on the [G]stove in the kitchen
There's a [A]crack [D]in the ceiling,
there's a screamed in [A]front door
And the [D]fog starts to settle
on the [G]banks of Lake Arthur
[Bm]I can st[D]ill taste the whiske[A]y
from the night just before
[G]It's a [D]crown royal whiskey
[A]from the night just before
[D]It's hard [A]to [D]get up at fiv[G]e in the morning
Put your [D]guns, put your shells,
put your wine in a [A]sack
We [D]look like some militia
with our [G]boots and our cam[Bm]o
With a [D]bird dog named Milo,
[A]he's asleep in the [D]back
[A]He [G]held my hand
when my [D]boots got too heavy
With [G]the mud from the [Bm]rice field
[A]comin' to my behind
We [D]set out the decoys
in the [G]dark on the levee
[Bm]And we[A] walke[D]d through
the graveyard
[A]of the rusted combine
[G]Yeah, [D]we walked through the graveyard
of [A]the rusted combine
[D][A][D][G][A][D][A][D]
[G][Bm][A][D][A][G][D][A][D]
Combines a monster,
[G]combines a savior
Lookin' [D]down at the blades,
I can see heaven [A]and hell
[D]Coal steel cut the rice crops
for [G]acres and [Bm]acres
Filled [A]how [D]many [A]barrels,
man, I cannot tell
[G]Bill, [D]how many [A]dryers?
Man, I could not tell
[D]From the banks of Lake Arthur
to [A]the [G]Mermital River
There's [D]wa ter as far as
your good [A]eyes can see
In the Lake Arthur bar,
[D]all the[G] old men get rowdy
[Bm]They got b[A]ottles of wh[D]iskey
[A]that are older than [D]me
He [G]held my hand when my
[D]boots got too heavy
With [G]the mud from the [Bm]rice field
[A]coming [D]to my [A]be hind
We [D]set out the decoys
in [G]the dark on the levee
[Bm]And we walke[D]d through the graveyard
[A]of the rusted combines
[G]Yeah, we wal[D]ked through the graveyard
[A]of the rusted com[D]bines
Yeah, sometimes I dream
of a [G]girl in a pickup
With her [D]windows rolled down,
with her radi[A]o on
Well, you [D]look at the cypress
on the [G]highway [Bm]190
An[D]d you give her away,
[A]and you sing jolly blind
[G]Yeah, you giv[D]e her away,
[A]and you sing jolly blind
[D]And Mr. Errol's a good friend,
he's [G]never a stranger
When I [D]come back,
it seems like I've always [A]been here
There's a [D]sign in his kitchen,
[G]it's written in [Bm]French
When [A]you [D]run out of slits,
[A]you run out of [D]beer
He [G]held my hand when my
[D]boots got too heavy
With [G]the mud from the [Bm]rice field
[D]coming [A]to my [D]be [A]hind
We [D]set out the decoys
in the [G]dark on the levee
[Bm]And we walke[D]d through the graveyard
[A]of the rusted combine
[G]Yeah, we [D]walked through the graveyard
of [A]the rusted combine
[D]
