Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I am from Salinas where
the women go forever
And they never ever to stop to ask why
My mother was a saviour of six
foot of bad behaviour
With long, blond curly hair
down to [C]her thigh
[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh my mother
Oh my friends
Ask the angels "Will I [Em]ever
see heav[G]en again?"

[Verse 3]
[G]Late into the evening,
they would [F]take each other [G]screaming
Looking [Em]darkly to the back of her eye

[Verse 4]
[G]The [C]car[G]eless beast was bleating that
the [F]air behind was [G]breathing
That they [Em]musn't ever
look up to the [G]sky

[Verse 5]
[G]There are no answers
There are found
Ask the angels,
"Am [Em]I heaven[Eb]-bound?"
[G]"Oh "Oh am I [F]heaven-bound?"
[G]Put Put it down

[Verse 6]
[Em]to m[G]e
[F]I, who speak awk[C]wardly
[G]Any word, if it is heard,
is not in[Em]tended to be
[G]Not for them, not for her
Not for [Em]him, and not [C]for me[Dsus4]
Oh and [G]that gun [C]would turn before the

[Verse 7]
sun starts to burn,
understand
[G]

[Verse 8]
[F]
[G]Whe[Em]n the clouds roll in,[C]
[G]we [F]start paying for our[C] sin[Em]s
[G]With a gun in my han[F]d and my
[Em]sun at my [G]shoulder[C]
[G]Believe I [F]will run [G]before
[C]that boy [Em]get s[C] older

[Verse 9]
[Dsus4]Oh and that gun would turn befo[C]re the sun starts to burn,
[G]understand
Oh and [Dsus4]that gun would [C]turn before the sun starts to burn,
un[G]derstand

[Verse 11]
[G]Oh my mother

Ask the angels,
