Waxahatchee - Rose 1956

capo on 6th fret .
the entire song is simply 4 chords : C F G F . the F is played as a power chord on the first fret .
the strumming is very simple and slow until the end of the first verse , where it picks up .

C F G F
sharp hangover , it is christmas eve .
it fades and evaporates passing the trains and lakes and trees .
your breaths are short and urgent and it is unsettling .
you got married when you were 15 , 15 .

now i hide out from telephone wires at waxahatchee creek .
your body , weak from smoke and tar and subsequent disease .
you got married when you were 15 , 15 .
no miscalculation , each other’s only living means .
your arms wane thinner .
your legs surrender .

sunlight probing , it is christmas eve .
no stitch of shade , we pass by lakes and big mimosa trees .
your breaths are short and urgent
and it is unsettling .
you got married when you were 15 , 15 .
