The Days Of Sand And Shovels chords by Nat Stuckey
Verse 1
Db
Ddim
Ab
Ebm
Db
When I no ticed her
Ddim
the first time I was outside
Ebm
Db
B
running barefoot in the rain
Ebm
Ab
She lived in the house next door,
Db
nose pressed against the window pane
Ddim
When I looked at her, she smiled and showed
D
Ebm
B
a place where two teeth used to be
Ab
And I heard her ask her mom
if she could come outside
Db
and play with me
Soon the days of sand and shovels
Ddim
Ebm
B
gave way to the mysteries of life
Abm
Ab
Then I no ticed she had changed
Db
and I looked at her through different eyes
We became as one in new love
Ddim
Ebm
B
without beginning or an end
Ebm
Ab
Every day I lived with her
Db
was like a new day dawning once again
Ebm
And I've loved her since then
Her brow was surely temple
B
So the top was still a nickel
E
Candles on her fingertips
Absus4
Ebm
Ab
Milk was circled on her lips
Db
After many years our
Ddim
love grew silent
Ebm
Db
B
And at night I heard her cry
Ab
When she left me in the fall
Db
I knew that it would be our last goodbye
I was man enough to give her
Ddim
Ebm
B
everything she needed for a while
Gb
Ab
In searching for a perfect love,
I found that I could not give
Db
her a good child
Now she lives a quiet life,
Ddim
Ebm
Db
B
lives the mother of a little girl
Bb
Ab
Every time I pass her house,
my thoughts go back into
Db
a different world
Because I see her little girl,
Ddim
nose is pressed against
Ebm
B
the window pane
Ddim
Ab
She thinks I'm a lonely man,
Db
wants to come inside out of the rain
Ebm
And I've loved her since every
dollar surely trembled
B
So the pot was still a nickel
E
And the stone, her fingertip
Absus4
Ab
Look, was circled on her lips
F#m
Every dollar surely trembled
D
So the pot was still a nickel
G
D
And the song has been
G
the death of me
Bsus4
B
Look what's circled on her deathbed
