Verse 1
C
D
G
C
So there's hundreds of auburn Alabama acres,
G
Bm
C
D
With rows of red roofs over warm
G
C
farmer's daughters
G
C
Who've got no intention
D
Bm
Em
of inviting me in .
C
Space shines all above me so
D
G
C
G
I settle myself under it.
Verse 2
C
When I wake up,
D
G
C
I'm back in my crowed city apartment,
G
C
D
With some random men doing work
G
C
off in the kitchen.
G
C
They're stacking mattresses up now from
D
Bm
Em
the ceiling down to the floor.
C
My father's sick in the hallway.
Verse 3
D
G
I hear him whistling under door.
C
I rush to lift him, but you all
Bm
know I'm weak,
D
G
And you know that he's heavy.
C
There's no blood in his cheeks,
D
But he's smiling straight
Verse 4
G
at me.
C
I ask the thickest of the workers,
D
"Would you please come
Bm
Em
and help me out ?"
C
He comes ambling over and says,
D
"Sir, I love how your whistling
Verse 5
G
C
G
sounds."
C
So now we drag him through the
D
kitchen to the living room
G
C
And down on the carpet.
G
C
He says, "Son, I'm embarrassed,
Verse 6
D
G
But the sides of my head hurt.
C
I just know that I'm tired and
D
Bm
Em
I could surely use some rest."
I tear a mattress down
C
for him and I say,
D
G
"Here Dad. Sleep some on this."
Verse 7
D
G
I wake for real, and it's over.
C
Am
I'm alone in the acres,
And my dad is still dead.
Em
G
C
So if you're underneath
D
G
one of those rooftops,
Verse 8
C
Look out your window and
D
Em
invite me on in,
C
Cause it's cold and I'm lonely,
D
G
Em
And I could sure use a friend.
