Kiss of a Man chords and lyrics - PATTY GRIFFIN

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]The strangers came
The strangers went
To [C]my daddy's bar
The floor was cement
And [D]wet all the time
It never got dry
Noth[C]ing but the smell
of old [G]beer and rye

[Verse 2]
Mama and [G]daddy and me
We lived in the back
The door [C]wasn't but twenty-five
feet feet from the tracks
And [D]trains would roll by
All day and all night
[C]Rattle them bottles
And shake [G]all them lights

[Verse 3]
[C]And the strangers would come
[G]and the strangers
Would go
[D]Talking too fast or [C]walking too slow
Sometimes they'd say hey
Pretty girl [G]what's your name?
[D]Why don't you come here and be
Pretty [C]for us?
Then my [G]daddy would make
like he'd [D]reach
For his gun
And [C]those boys would shake

[Verse 4]
Or hush up and run
[C]
Now [G]some of those boys
I noticed them too
[C]Looking at me
But there was nothing to do
When [D]daddy stood watch
Big mean and sober
Like a [C]wall so tall
No one [G]could get over

[Verse 5]
[C]Sometimes at night
[G]Under the sheets
I'd [D]cover myself from my [C]head to my feet
And wait till my mama and
[G]daddy went to sleep
And though [D]I was awake
Dream a [C]dream so sweet

[Verse 6]
Dream [G]a dream so sweet
Though [D]I was awake
Dream [C]a dream so sweet
All of me ached
Close my [G]eyes and pretend
On the [D]back of my hand
What [C]it would be like

[Outro 1]
The kiss of a man
[C][G][D][C]
