mat kearney rochester
capo 4
C F
i was born in rochester to a book making man
C G
had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
C F
see them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads
C G C
the police chief and tom hall wondering what was the spread
C F
i carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball
C G
learned that any soft place wasn’t good for me at all
C F
Daddy’d come home fired up looking for some sort of release
C G C
he’d beat the hell of timmy and timmy’d beat the hell out of me
F C
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
F C
run till there was nothing left to feel
F C
lying there watching planes just disappear
G C
knowing one day im gonna fly on out of here
C F
the same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
C G
put my Daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page
C F
took every one of his suits and all my dignity
C G C
id walk the halls of irodiquie waiting for any punk to set me free
F C
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
F C
run till there was nothing left to feel
F C
lying there watching planes just disappear
G C
knowing one day im gonna fly on out of here
C F
got that call to vietnam just like everyone else i knew
C G
so scared of the hand grenades through them farther than any other troop
C F
came home like an iron fist and timmy tried to take my keys
C G C
ripped open his from pocket that was the last time he touched me
C F
moved to an island out west and up to breckenridge
C G
met a mermaid on a glass boat and she promised me some kids
C F
bought a house in oregon where you could touch both of the walls
C G C
had a son named benjamin and i was so scared of it all
interlude ( same as verses )
C F
well benjamin walked in the front room where i was cutting up my hash
C G
looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why id been so mad
C F
flushed a quarter pound down the drain praying for the mercy to confess
C G C
trying to rip the boy from rochester right out of my chest
F C
were gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
F C
run like there was no more time to steal
F C
my three boys and the grace of god revealed
G C
knowing one day you’re gonna take me out of here
G C
knowing one day you’re gonna take me out of here
the chords are in the right spot but listen for the change so you know when to
switch , it is really obvious!! this is one of my favorite songs he plays and
there are tones of youtube video to watch him play it! enjoy!!
