Played on a twelve string with the high E strings tuned down to D.
intro
Aadd4
A worn out joke to keep the flies away
Aadd4
Carried it this far
Got the westside winds keep it steady
Aadd4
Bury the hatchets we find
Could carry that heavy load
Aadd4
If I really thought it would matter
Aadd4
Farcical hair appears
As a blind side
Clean the slate
Chorus
Working in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view
Lay it down
What the hell were we thinking
Before the fire burned out
Can't find you now
Didn't know you then
Loneliness drinks the bitters
Till the cold wind's warm again
To feel born again
Mouth open wide, screams and hollers
Chorus
Gambled once and won, never made a dollar
Beauty fades to gray
I pray the very best will guard her
And provide a way
There's a telltale sign
And it's chairs up, time to go
Chorus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
a neat way to tie the "A" chords to the G and D are to slide the "E"
note fretted on the second string up to the fourth fret, and then pull
it off.
