Texas Burning-Theresa Andersson: "Accustomed to the Dark" chords
Start Jamming...
Thanks for having me.
Thanks for coming.
Thank you.
Well, as you said, I live in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Well, a while back I was chased out of New Orleans by an evil bitch called Katrina.
And I took refuge in Texas.
Thank you.
You made me feel very, very welcome and safe.
[E] And while roaming around the countryside of Texas, I wrote this next song.
And it's [C] a song about being away from home.
And it's a song about not knowing what you're coming home to whenever you go back.
And it's about being alone.
And I thought maybe there's a few people here tonight that might be able to relate to that feeling.
It's a song called Accustomed to the Dark.

[Am] Eighteen [F] miles from [G] Jericho
[Bb] About a million [C] more to go before I [G] sleep again

[C]
[A] moon fell [F] from [G] the Texas sky
What [F] a lonely place [C] to say goodbye
To no one but [D] the wind
[C] Silent, lonely, [G]
[C] haunted [G] by your [Am] fading [C] light
[F] Scarlet, [C]
scarlet, I guess [G] I'll have to find my way [Am] back
Till [G] I can grow accustomed to [Am] the [F]
[C] dark
[Am] [F] [C]
[A] A busted [E] billboard [C] sign ahead
[A] Reminds me of [G] something you said
[Bb] And the take is running [C] through my head
It [G] tears me up inside
[Am] Oh, I wish I [F] was a [C] midnight train
[Am] Blazing across the [G] Pontchartrain
[Bb] Maybe then [C] I'd lose this pain
That's [G] killing me tonight
[F]
Silent, [C]
lonely, haunted [Bm] by [A] your [C] fading light
Scarlet, scarlet sky
