[F] Markin’ stars by the fire [C] light [C7]
The flames [F] kissed her eyes
Yes she was [C] your sun[C7]rise
[F] Markin’ stars to keep out the [C] night [C7]
The dark [F] evening grows
She can’t [C] shed her [C7] woes
[C7] If you could choose
which life to lead
which [F] would it be
which one [C] would it [C7] be
[C7] Which kin to claim
Should you hang your head in [F] shame
[C] Or can you stand tall
and hang pictures of [C7] life on the [F] wall
[F] Lookin’ out over the [C] rocks [C7]
The green [F] water shines
Your [C] white boat [C7] shines
[F] Lookin’ out from under your [C] box [C7]
You see the [F] alley swine
You smell the [C] alley [C7] slime
Chorus
Break
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [C] [C7]
[C7] [F]
[Bb] Which kin to claim
If you [F] had no shame
[Bb] For which cause would ya [C] bleed [C7]
If the choice was yours would you be [F] freed
[F] Watchin’ Pa kill the [C] Fox [C7]
His red [F] coat it glowed
And your [C] pride it [C7] showed
[F] Watchin’ Pa fall off the [C] docks [C7]
His drunk [F] blood it poured
And your [C] shame was [C7] pure
Chorus+
[Bb] Can you stand tall
and hang [C] pictures of [C7] life on the [F] wall
