intro :
play verse chords once!

verse :
D G D
colorado was so nice ,
D G D
but i’m minnesota’s son
D G D
even when the cold winds blow
A G
in the darkness and the light

D G D
and the young folks search for meaning here
D G D
and the old folks know there’s none
D G D
out your window you can see the world
A G
babe it’s turning , and it’s gone

chorus :
D A G

G D A G
and the stars at night ,

G D A G
why do they make you cry?
G A
don’t you think that i’ll be coming home?

verse :
well it’s not like sunny , monterrey
in all the steinbeck books you read ,
where the hobos know the secrets and
the law turns their head

we are as close to paradise
even though you might not hear it said ,
and the methodists all bring a dish to share
with the ashes on their head

chorus :
and when the sun’s in the sky ,
we’ll have a class outside ,
why do you think that i can be so cold?

verse :
i’m not scared of much here anymore ,
wait , friends , that was a lie
’cause i’m scared to death of losing you ,
to be alone , high and dry

chorus :
and i know you worry ,
about time and money ,
but don’t you know those things , they come and go?

end!!!
