[E]
[A] [C#m] [E]
[A] [C#m] [E]
He was waiting [A] for a better time [E] to tell her he'd be [A] gone.
[E] It was blowing up a [B] storm that night, [C#m] something about it [B] just [A] seemed wrong.
[E] So he waited till the [A] morning came, [E] it was lightning [B] all around.
[E] And it broke his soul and [A] he let her go, [E] split for that tour [A] of town.
[E] And all [A]
these roads [C#m] could have [E] [A] swore that they'd close.
[C#m] [E] And all [B] these [A] towns [C#m] [E] would have swore [A] they'd fell down.
[E]
Tom Barrett [A] was a killing man [E]
from the 21st [A] platoon.
[E]
Started out [A] in a heavy tank, [E]
tearing down the mountain [A] dunes.
[E]
The pilot [A] guards would laugh and say, [E]
we see you [A] back again.
[E]
Say I tell [A] you, if they had their way, [E] they'd send me just to [A] fight the wind.
[E]
And all [A] these roads [E]
could have swore [A] that they'd close.
[E]
And all [A] these towns [C#m]
[E] would have swore [A] they'd fell down.
[C#m] This [E] life is [A] getting old, [E] I never see [A] no peace.
[E] On the day I [A] turned 41, I [E] was crawling up a [A] ditch in Greece,
[E] about to end [A] a man.
[C#m] And they [E] stopped me [A] at his heels, [E] never knew how [A] they handled him.
[C#m] I don't guess I [E] ever [A] will.
[E] [B]
[A] [C#m] [B]
[E] [B] [A]
[E]
We [B] sit alone [A] with a local guy [E] [B] amongst the plow [A] machines,
[C#m] pushing [E] piles [A] for miles and [E] miles, rubber like you've [A] never seen.
[E] And he said, [B] I tell [A] them that I've had enough, [E] but no [B] matter where [A] I went,
[E] they had me caught, for the [A] sun came up, [E] tamed and ready to [A] repent.
[E] And all [A] these roads [C#m] could have [E]
[A] swore that they'd close.
[C#m] [E] And all [A] these towns [E] would have swore [A] they'd fell down.
