album : draw the line
tabbed by : timpe tuyt

this is another great song of the new album . these chords are based on what i saw the
playing during the gig in amsterdam , so it should be right!
the chords are basically the same throughout the whole song , just the strumming changes .

capo 5th fret .

intro :

Em C G G x3
D C ( silence )

verse :
Em C G
lay down my head by the wayside
Em C G
my worn out shoes
Em C G
quite why she went i can’t decide
D C
yeah but i sure could use
Em C G
one plate of food steaming and hot
Em C G
clean linen ironed
Em C G
on a fresh made bed but i ain’t got
D C D Em C G
one salty dime , one salty dime

just close your eyes it won’t take long
it won’t hurt a bit
telling myself i could be strong
or some such brave bullshit
trucks are roaring by i’m a red ghost
in their tail light gleam
i’m a tumbleweed , i’m a spit roast
just turning in your flame
oh my darlin’ kathleen
oh my darlin’ kathleen

cars they sound like waves that are breaking
on some distant shore
i gazed so hard into the great aching sky
it seemed that i , i wasn’t here no more
that my rushing blood was a river
my eyes two stars
my blowing hair all a quiver
a whispering field of grass
that murmurs as you pass
oh my darlin’ kathleen
that whispers out your name
oh my darlin’ kathleen
oh my darlin’ kathleen

hope that works for you! please mail any improvements to timpetuyt@gmail . com

greetings!
