Rural Box A

Intro C G Em D   4X 
C                              G 
Silence stole this house long ago        
Em                            D 
Little sister you can never leave  
C                                   G 
Is that you ribbons rolling with the leaves      
Em                      D 
Carried high on a southern breeze 
C                                G 
I'm standing up and I'm holding 'fraid   
Em                 D 
Carrying the blame 
C                          G 
And mother she don't talk to me          
Em                           D 
And dad always works so far away 
C                                      G 
But we're all together hanging on the wall       
Em                      D 
Full of life in a crooked frame 
C                                    G 
It's hard to call this place really a home       
Em                                      D 
It's just somewhere that I've got to get away 
 
 
Chorus 2X  (tempo shifts into 2nd  gear during chorus) 
              G                     D 
And I'm gonna roll, gonna gear up again 
             C                          G 
I'm gonna roll down the windows, drive hard  
                D 
and let those years blow back in 
 
C                                           G 
I'm gonna lock these doors for the last time          
Em                                      D 
Let the water drip down the kitchen drain 
C                                    G 
I'm gonna drive away and throw out the keys      
Em                              D 
Heading east through the drizzling rain 
 
Chorus
