Chords for Skinny Days - Greg Brown with Bo Ramsey

_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ My skinny [C#] days, my heavy nights, _ _ [F#] _ _
_ my sleep flies, _ [Fm] strings and waves, _ in the wind blow,
_ good [D#m] boy, _ _ _ [A#] _ _ the band [C#] is through, _ wedding gown, _ one more flag, [F#] _ coming down, _ _ sun is [Fm] rise, _ [C] like
a [D#m] bomb, _ [C#] boomerang, _ _ my _ _ heavy nights, _ my skinny days, no way she [F#] turns, her secret place,
while I'm put [Fm] together, _ in a parlor, thick with [F#] smoke, [D#m] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
plug her [C#] wound, _ [C#] she's in the hay, _
they say [F#] she knows, how to play, _ the game of [Fm] love, on her guitar, [G#] _
[C#] it's too slow, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ [C#] _ _ oh out
on the beach, _ _ _ _ _ the [F#] fall asleep, _ _ until the howl, wake [Fm] up, _ wake up, the kiss of last, [A#] give me
the truth, _ _ _ [G#] _
ah her skinny days, [C#] not a family, _ [F#] stripped it down, for all to see, but her
big [Fm] mouth, could drink [C#] them all, like dry ground, drink the rain, _ _ _ _ put her in, [F#] _ [C#m] in an
underwear and [C#] all, while the whole world tumbled, [F#] from war to war, there was [Fm] a box, full of
wedding [G#] gifts, _ [D#m] she _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#] _ grows a garden, _ most of the while, _ [F#] walks for miles, raises a child,
she [Fm] keeps it cool, till [F#] after midnight, _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[C#] I told the tale, I walk the line, in Michigan,
_ after the pass, I made a kill, [Fm] _ I built a fire, _ I [D#] loved [A#] myself, _ _ [G#] _ _
on skinny [C#] days, I've been
waiting, _ _ [F#] wasting my time, just keeping me up late, I'm sending [Fm] you, this little book of
[G#] pictures, for [C#] you,
