St. Augustine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I b[Bm]egin [Em]once[A][D][A][D]
again [A], my song to the wind
[D]In a slow south Laredo [A]rain
Good[D]bye to the [Bm]ones [Em]I left behind[A]
Santa [D]rosa , sweet Au[A]gustine
I've [D]left a thousand times I'm [A]leaving again
I [D]can hear those [A]engines turning
a [D]thousand and [Bm]one as I'm [Em]leaving [A]today
I [D]don't know when I'll be [A]re turning

[Verse 2]
Oh the [D]gasoline burns and the [G]engines turn
Our [D]hearts got caught in [G]between
[D]A new day will dawn but by
[G]then I'll be gone
Santa [Em]Rosa [F#m]or sweet [D]Augustine
[Bm][Em][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[A]On the gro[D]und
last night [A]I slept with my Rose
Her [D]body soft like a pil[A]low
[D]With flowers in [Bm]the air and
[Em]her limp brown h[A]air
[D]Dangling over my shoulder like [A]a willow

[Verse 4]
[D]But of sweet august [A]I'll say no more
You [D]might say her love was a [A]secret to me
with [D]her lonely [Bm]looks like
[Em]in a[A] paperback b[D]ook
You might say I loved her [A]desperately

[Verse 5]
Oh the [D]gasoline burns and [G]the engines turn
Our [D]hearts got caught [G]in between
[D]A new day will dawn but by
[G]then I'll be gone
Santa [Em]Rosa or [F#m]Saint [D]Augustine
[Bm][Em][A][D]

[Verse 6]
[A]They're sif[D]ting us
down with [A]with a fine tooth comb
Like [D]there's some kind of big mystery
[A]They can pry[D] they can tea[Bm]r , b[Em]ut still I'll swe[A]ar
I'm [D]takin' only memories [A]with me

[Verse 7]
They've [D]searched our belongings
[A], they're waving us [D]through
[A]A c[D]hange of the g[Bm]uards
means [Em]a new deck [A]of card
[D]Still I'm takin' only memories [A]with me

[Verse 8]
Oh the [D]gasoline burns [G]and the
engines turn
[D]And our hearts got caught i[G]n between
A [D]new day will dawn [G]but by
then I'll be gone
santa [Em]Rosa [F#m]or St. Augustine
