Mason Jennings - Black Wind Blowing

creepish amazingness from old mj once again .

tuned a half step down .

G C Am Em
when i got home there was blood on the door
G C Am Em
saw you lyin on the kitchen floor
G C Am Em
i ran down the hallway and i saw what he did
G C Am Em
i saw our little bitty baby lyin dead in her crib

G C Am Em
theres a black wind blowin
G C Am Em
there’s a black wind blowin
G C
there’s a black wind blowin outside our gates
Am Em
tryin to blow this place into outer space
G C Am Em
there’s a black wind blowin

i didn’t bother pickin up the phone
want to get there first i want ya all alone
there’s gonna be blood on the walls on a highway south
your scripture won’t save you when my guns in your mouth

chorus

i was 18 when i first came here
just me and my brother tryin to disappear
he chose the prophet baby i chose you
from that day i feared what he could do

chorus

i took the corner and i gunned it hard
drove my truck into your front yard
you came out runnin but i was too fast
i took out your legs and dropped you in the grass
there people outside i heard somebody scream
my whole life became a movie screen
i remembered us jumpin on mommas bed
she was yellin be careful or you bump your head
i stuck my gun up under your chin
my hand was shakin so i dug it in
you started laughin said i understand
you wish you couldn’t but i know you can , you can
