Verse 1
Was (G major) the
Nevada winter so cold and so sad?
With a river too many to (C major) flood?
(G major) The storming wind cut through to my skin
The (C major) cheek cut through (G major) to my blood
(C major) I was (G major) looking for trouble
to tangle my lines
When trouble come a -looking for me (C major)
I (G major) knew I was standing on
treacherous ground
But I was (C major) sinking too (D major) fast to run (G major) free
With her (C major) schem (A minor) ing hide (G major) (E minor) -all (D major) away
She (C major) left me poor (A minor) enough (G major)
The storm and the wind
got through to my skin
But (C major) she got (D major) through to me (C major) blood
(A minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (C minor)
(C major)
(G major) Permanent (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (A minor) (G major)
(E minor) (D major) (C major) (A minor) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(D major) (G major)
(C major) Now I (G major) would not be asking, I would not be
be seen either begging
on a mountain or (C major) hill.
Still I'm (G major) petty and I'm
blind with my hands
tied behind,
but I've (C major) neither a mind (D major) nor a (G major) will.
Oh, (C major) (G major) it's bitter the needle
to pull the chain away
Or he'll always believe what (C major) they say
When they (G major) tell him it's hard
to be honest and good
Does he (C major) mind when he (D major) doesn't get (G major) paid?
With (D major) her (C major) steaming
(A minor) I (G major) (E minor) know the (D major) way
She (C major) left me
Born (A minor) (G major) in love
The (C major) (G major) storming away
Brought truth to my skin
But (C major) she brought (D major) truth to me
(G major) Blood
With a (C major) steam (A minor) ing eye (G major) (E minor) the
(D major) way she (C major) left me pouring (A minor) (G major) down
A (C major) (G major) storm and a wind
cut through to my skin
But (C major) she comes (D major) through to me (C major) blind
(D major) (G major)
