Under an Overpass -- An Original Song About a PTSD Victim chords
Start Jamming...
It's a cold winter night, I've no place to go,
Not a dollar to spare, [D] no wheels for the road,
[G] Just this old guitar and a cheap jug of wine,
Under an overpass [D]
and next [G] to a sign.
From rats to cockroaches and transient stairs,
They've all heard my stories, [D] they've all heard my prayers,
[G] Death and destruction, a fragmented mind,
Under an [D] overpass and next [G] to a sign.
[C]
[G]
[D] [G]
Second-hand needles and government pills,
Some from the borders,
[D] some from the mill,
[G] A chartered greyhound from Parker to Kline,
Under an [D] overpass and next [G] to a sign.
My service to country [C] was the right [G] thing to do,
That's what they told me [D] right out of school,
[G] From boot camp to Houston and Lieutenant Kline,
Under an [D] overpass and next [G] to a sign.
[D] Well, [G]
my brother never made it, no he never came home,
Missing in action, [D] he's etched on his dome,
[G] Pictures of family, [C]
[G] litter my shrine,
Under an [D] overpass and next [G] to a sign.
I'm gonna drink me some liquor, [C] write [G] me a psalm,
The 101's quiet, [D] but it won't last long,
[G] A thick leaded pencil, some paper with lines,
Under an overpass [D] and next to [G] a sign.

It's a cold winter night, I've no place to go,
Not a dollar to spare, [D] no wheels for the road,
[G] Just this old gate job and a cheap jug of wine,
Under an [D] overpass and next [G] to a sign.
Under an overpass [D] and next to [G] a sign.
