Capo 2
[G] When the Buckeyes bloom on [C] Soda [G] Creek
Their poison pollen clouds the [D] stream
Still [G] bodies float in the [C] water [G] deep
When the Buckeyes bloom on [D] Soda [G] Creek
I [C] loved the way the [D] weeping willow [G] sways with the [C] breeze
But only time will tell the [D] story of those [Em] trees
But only [C] time will tell the [D] story of those [G] trees
[G] When the deserts bathed in [C] full moon [G] light
The cactus is Queen of the [D] Night
Under [G] the midnight shade of the [C] Creo[G]sote
When the deserts bathed in [D] full moon [G] light
I [C] love to hear the co[D]yote howling [G] underneath the [C] stars
But soon we’ll only [D] see them behind [Em] bars
But [C] soon we’ll only [D] see them behind [G] bars
[C] Go and see it [G] now
Yes [D] go and do it [G] now
Don’t let [C] life pass you [D] by some [G] how
Chorus break
[G] Behind the crashing waves of an [C] island [G] beach
There’s a world only divers can [D] reach
And its [G] vanishing even [C] as we [G] speak
Behind the crashing waves of an [D] island [G] beach
I [C] loved the way that the [D] Spanish Dancer [G] moves across the [C] floor
But she glides and flashes her [D] crimson dress no [Em] more
But [C] she glides and flashes her [D] crimson dress no [G] more
[C] Go and see it [G] now
Yes [D] go and do it [G] now
Don’t let [C] life pass you [D] by some [G] how
[C] Go and see it [G] now
Yes [D] go and do it [G] now
It might be [C] gone if you [D] wait go [G] now

[G] Why must I [C] chase you a[G]round
I can’t seem to catch you at [D] home
[G] So many people wanna [C] put you in the [G] ground
I just wanna [D] get you all a[G]lone
[C] You got that thing I love
that [G] quiet little smile
I [D] swear to the lord above
For [D7] you... I’d run a million [G] miles
[G] Where do you go [C] inside that mind of [G] yours
Some people say a happy [D] place
[G] I Don’t think I know and [C] I can’t be for [G] sure
why that mask is [D] on your pretty [G] face
[C] You got that thing I love
that [G] crooked little grin
I [D] swear to the lord above
For [D7] you... I’d scrape off my [G] skin
[C] We’re not a dime-a-dozen
[G] Your the crook and I’m the husband
[D] Where can we go to be a[D7]lone
For you... I’ll make prison my [G] home
Verse/Chorus break
[G] Why can’t I find [C] my own peace of [G] mind
I’m only happy around [D] you
[G] What should I do [C] to learn to un[G]wind
Before you get me [D] killed or [G] tattooed
[C] You got that thing I love
that [G] evil little eye
I [D] swear to the lord above
For [D7] you... I’d lay down and [G] die

[C]
[F] The sky was [G] lit up in the [C] morning
[F] I was on my [G] way into [C] town
[F] I knew that there [G] wasn’t any [C] warning
When those [G] towers came [F] falling [C] down
[F] I was only [G] thinkin’ of my[C]self that day
[F] I couldn’t get your [G] cheatin’ off my [C] mind
[F] I thought you’d done me [G] wrong in a [C] bad way
But [G] I forgot it all [F] when those planes caught us [C] blind

When they [Em] tried to wipe our [F] spirit a[C]way
We were [G] taken by sur[F]prise lets hope we’ve [C] opened up our [Em] eyes
[G] We still re[F]member that [C] day
[F] I called you as [G] soon as the line [C] opened

Still to[F]day we count our [G] blessings in the [C] end
You [G] crossed the river you were [F] saved by your [C] lust
Chorus
[G7] Memories of that [Em] day should [F] bring us to[C]gether

[D] Find it hard to believe you, do you know how you [G] sound
Is that how you [A7] see the working man’s [D] pain?
You haven’t come too far from the [G] playground
Your moral[A7]ity never left your hind [D] brain
Oh Yes [A7] you and your [G] kind are [D] slowing us [G] down
In the [D] end you won’t [A7] see us a[D]round
If you had your way we’d be back in the [G] stone age
From your [A7] toxic parade of archaic [D] views

Oh Yes [A7] you and your [G] kind are [D] halting pro[G]gress
In the [D] end you’ll [A7] have all the [D] regrets
Oh Yes [A7] you and your [G] kind are [D] securing your [G] fate
In the [D] end you won’t [A7] see a pearly [D] gate

CAPO 2 [B]
[A] [D] [A] [E]
We were [A] born in the same year [D] on the 4th of [A] July
But under a different [E] sign
We were [D] raised in Shenandoah beneath the [A] same blue sky
In two [E] worlds that shared naught else but [A] time
[A] [D] [A] [E]
Our two [A] minds are far from the [D] termi[A]nator
The moon’s black or white in your [E] eyes
It’s [D] hard to imagine you can [A] see through your screen door
And [E] still believe all those [A] lies
You [E] Still believe in those [D] lies that you’re [A] told
You [E] Still take refuge in those [D] tired old [A] roles
Sure you have right to hold [E] on to... those [D] lies you’re [A] told
Verse Break
[A] [D] [A] [E]
You are [A] proud to cling to your [D] ammuni[A]tion
Ready to fight for your [E] God
You are [D] bound to repeat the [A] crime of oppression
If you [E] continue to wield Jacob’s [A] rod

[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO
[Em] Did you see the flash of [A] silver on the [Em] ridge.
Looks like the [G] Marshall made the [A] pass before we [Em] did
[Em] Our Buckskin colts need [A] water at the [Em] bridge
So [G] we can’t burn the [A] breeze or stay [Em] hid

So [Em] We followed the arro[A]yo to the cotton[Em]woods
We [G] thought we’d found our [A] freedom in a bone [Em] orchard
[Em] We should all be going to [A] blazes if we know whats [Em] good
Then we [G] heard the sting of blue [A] lighting right were we [Em] stood.
[G] We [D] are the [A] bandits of blood [Em] bucket
We [G] galloped [A] like the [Em] wind
Out of [G] Yuma’s [A] big [Em] prison
[G] To take our [D] chance at the [A] golden [Em] nugget
With our [G] bellies [A] in the [Em] bush
We [G] tried [A] to make our [Em] rush
[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO
[G] [A] [Em]
[G] [A] [Em]
[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO
Our [Em] papa always [A] said his bullets find a [Em] bandit
But [G] we never thought It’d be [A] his lead we would [Em] eat
My [Em] brother he cried for [A] papa when his blood he [Em] spit
So I [G] laid down my [A] shooter in the dust by [Em] his feat
