Chords for Sarah Harmer - Escarpment Blues

_ If they blow a hole in my backyard
_ Everyone is gonna run away
And the creeks won't flow to the great lake below
Will the water in [A] the well still be [D] okay?
_ _ _ _ [A] If they blow [G] a hole [D] in the backbone
The one that runs across the muscles of the land
_ We might get a load of stone for the road
But I don't know [A] how much longer [D] we can _ stand _ _ _ _
[G] _ We'll need to build some [A] new apartments
_ _ And [G] I know we're gonna _ have to fix [A] the roads
But _ if [G] we blow _ another hole in the [A] _
escarpment
_ _ The wild ones won't have anywhere [A] to go _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] If [D] they blow [G] a hole in [D] my backyard
_ Everyone [G] is gonna run away
[G] _
[D] And the creeks won't flow to the great lake below
Will the water in [A] the well still be [D] okay? _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ We'll keep _ _ driving [A] on the blind line
_ If [G] we don't know where we [A] wanna go _ _
And even _ knowledge that's sound can get watered down _ _
[G] And truth can get sucked out the [A] car window _ _ _ _ _
[G] Truth _ gets sucked out the [A] car window
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
We're two-thirds water
_ [A] What do we really need?
But sun and shower, _ soil and sea
_ _ We're two-thirds water
_ [A] The _ aquifers provide
Deep [G] down in the rock
There's a pearl inside
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G]
If they blow a hole [D] in my [G] backyard _
[A] Everyone is gonna [D] run away
And the [G] creeks won't flow to [D] the great lake [G] below
Will the [D] water in the well still be [G] okay?
If [D] they blow a hole in the [G] backbone
The [D] one that runs [G] across the muscles [D] of the land
[G] _ [D] We might get [G] a load [D] of stone through [G] the road
But [D] I don't know how much longer we can stand
