Chords for Pine Box Boys - The Beauty In Her Face

[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ It was a dark, [G] dusty road in West Texas, [C] where a young cowboy thumbed [Am] down a ride.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ Got in the truck [G] with a suitcase and a fiddle, [C] and a bag he kept [Am] by his side.
_ _ [F] _ The farmer could see that [G] this young man was broken [C] by the thunder [G] that pealed in [Am] his mind.
_ _ [F] _
So he offered [G] his bottle of tequila [C] to the radio [G] to see what [Am] he would find.
_ _ [Dm] _
By and by [G] the young man grew a bit more social, [C] concealing the worries in his [Am] head.
_ _ [Dm] _ _
Said he didn't care for [G] the mariachi on the radio, [C] wouldn't mind if he tuned to something [Am] else instead.
_ _ [F] _
The moon was new, the night [G] was black as a biro, [C] and the radio [Em] rolled upon [A] his [Am] face. _ _
[F] He grew still [G] as he filmed with a dial, [C] tuning signals [G] that came from [Am] outer space. _ _
[Dm] But just in the mirror, [G] the better to regard him, [C] the farmer asked how far he [Am] planned to go. _ _ _
[Dm] The cowboy asked if [G] he would take him across the border, [C] and after that, he really [Am] didn't know. _ _ _
[F] _ The farmer said, Evo, [G] I can see that you are troubled [C] by things that [G] I don't think you [Am] can outrun. _ _ _
_ [F] But I will take [G] you far across the border [C] if you'll use my ears to tell me [Am] what you've done. _ _
[Dm] They kept the [G] silence for another mile, [C] and the cowboy flipped his cigarette [Am] outside. _ _
[Dm] _ Then he took [G] another pull from the bottle, [C] while the truth searched for words on which [Am] to write. _
_ [F] Said he fell in [G] love with a girl who played the [C] fiddle, and the way she held the ball with her [Am] hand. _ _
_ [F] But my [G] heart was broken by a promise she [C] had given [Em] to a lucky [Am] man. _ _
_ [Dm] Before I could go, [G] I just knew I had to find her, [C] take with me the memory of her [Am] face. _ _
_ [Dm] The night was [G] starless as I stood before the lady, [C] filming signals that came [Am] from outer space. _ _
[F] No one could find [G] her on the day she was to marry, [C] and they left the church fearful [Am] of the cause. _ _
[F] The next day [G] someone found the woman's body, [C] but no one could be sure just [Am] who she was. _ _
[Dm] _ Sometimes [G] when I'm dialing on the radio, [C] I think I hear a fiddle [Am] start to play. _ _
[Dm] But I can never [G] tune in the signal, [C] and I never hear what she's [Am] trying to say. _ _
[F] _ Farmer said, Eho, [G] I don't think that you will find her, [C] and this journey will [G] only lead your way [Am] to hell. _ _ _
[F] You must hold back [G] and stand upon the gallows, [C] I reckon that's what the signal's [Am] trying to tell you. _ _
[Dm] The police stopped him [G] as they tried to cross at Roma, [C] and he nodded when they read him his [Am] rights. _ _ _
[Dm] Yet in the truck he left [G] the suitcase and the fiddle, [C] in the bag he'd kept by [Am] his side. _ _
[F] _ Farmer took the bag [G] and he looked there excited, and [C] was struck by [Em] the beauty in her [Am] face. _ _ _
[F] In the dark with all [G] the sorrow and horror and [C] the signals that came from outer [Am] space.
