[F]
[Bb] All day the mountains rose behind [C] a veil [F] of smoke [Gm] from burning [F] fields
[Bb] [F] And road dusk dying [Bb] black skin bronze and the road rolling like a [F] rough sea
It's [C] quiet now, just crickets and a dog fight [Dm] somewhere in the [Bb] far away
[Dm] [F] In my heart I hold your photograph [Gm] and the thought of you comes [A] on like [F] the feel of the coming rain
Hot
[Bb] breeze ran its fingers through the long grass [F] of a thatched roofy
It
[Bb] [F] stuck me in the only chair they [Bb] had while they cooked [F] cassava in a luckless stand
[C] They asked for one well, three lanterns and two hundred [Dm] liters of fuel and I [Bb] said, ooh me
And
[Dm] [F] the time for planting's coming [Gm] soon and the thought of you comes on like the [F] feel of the coming [Gm] rain

[F] In the town neon [Em] flickers in the ruins, [F] [A] seven crows swoop past [F] the luscious moon
If [B] I had wings like those [F] there'd be no [G] waiting
[Bbm] I'd come patting to your door and slide like some smoke into [F] your room
All
[F] day the mountains [Bb] rose behind a veil of smoke from [C] burning [F] fields
[C] [Bb] And road dusk dying black skin bronze and the road rolling like a [Cm] rough [F] sea
[C] It's quiet now, just crickets [F] and a [G] dog fight [Dm] somewhere [Bb] in the far away
