Iron & Wine - Waves of Galveston chords

[E]
Leave the ways of Galveston, but only if you can
Cause you've [A] been hidden [F#m] behind the seawall, [E] gently folded in the sand
Papa left you for heaven after your mama lost her song
And though [A] your baby left you [F#] for Houston, [E]
no one stays there very long
[A] [Em]
[E] There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor, a gate that only closes
[A] Snowbirds fly away like [F#m] secrets, [E] no one really wants to know
The climbing moon's always shining on the kind of shells you keep
The broken [A]
horse tied [F#m] to the water [E] tower's running in his sleep
[A] It's too bad [Am] that you ain't [E] got a soft [F#m] place to fall
[B]
[E] It's [A] too bad [Am]
Texas leads to [E] the least [F#m] of us all
[B]
And [Em] sirs, you can make the music, you can have the [E] dance
You can shoot the pistol, you can wear the pants
[A]
[E]
[Em]
[E]
So leave the ways of Galveston, but only if [Em] you can
Cause it's the [A]
only [F#m] place the Lone Star [E] kind of offered you a hand
And your baby left you nothing, and that dog was left for dead
You [A] never knew you [F#m] were a burden, [E] till it hit you on the head
[Em]
It's [A] too bad [Em]
[Am] that you ain't [E] got a soft [F#m] place to fall
[B]
[E] It's [A] too bad [Am] Texas leads [E] to the least [F#m] of us
[E] [B] all
[E] And [A] sirs, [Em] you can make the music, you can have the dance
You can shoot [A] the pistol, [Em] you can wear the [A] pants
