Chords for Iron & Wine - Waves of Galveston

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Leave the waves of Galveston, but only if you can
Cause you've been [G] hid behind the [Em] sand [D] wall, gently folded in the sand
Papa left you for heaven after your mama lost her song
And though [G] your baby left you [Em] for Houston, [D] no one stays there very long _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor, a gate that only closes
[G] Snowbirds fly away [Em] like secrets, [D] no one really wants to know
The climbing moons always shining, all the kind of shells you keep
The broken [G] horse [Em] tied to the water [D] tower, running in his sleep _ _
_ [G] It's too [D] bad [G] that [Gm] you [D] ain't got a soft [E] place to [D] fall
[G] _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] It's too [Gm] bad Texas means [D] to the least of us [A] all _ _
And [D] still, if you can make the [G] music, then you [D] can have the [G] dance
[D] If you can shoot the pistol, [G] then [D] you can wear the band _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
So leave the waves of Galveston, but only if you can
Cause it's [G] the [Em] only place the love [D] star kind of offered you a hand
Your baby left you nothing, but a dog she left for dead
You [G] never knew you [Em] were a burden, [D] till it hit you on the head _
_ _ [G] It's too [D] bad [Gm] that you ain't [D] got a soft place to fall _ _ _
[Dm] _ It's [G] too [D] bad [Gm] Texas means [D] to the least of [G] us [D] all _
And [G] still, if [D] you can make the music, [G] then you [D] can have the [G] dance
[D] If you can shoot the [G] pistol, [D] then you can wear the band _ _ _ _ _
