The Ballad of Grin Darling
CAPO 1
Intro G Em G Em G Em
Em Am G Em G Em
Yes I was standing in line with Grin
Am G Em G Em
When a troubled soul walked in
Am C G D
He raised his gun and screamed with pain
G Em D Em G Em X2
The air stood still... by the idle train
Em Am G Em G Em
We fell to the ground when he opened fire
Am G Em G Em
I could smell the blazing iron
Am C G D
The screams rang out and the blood it flowed
G Em D Em
But the air stood still when he stopped to reload
Em Am Em
Where Oh Where did that smile come from
Em Am D G
And how do you hide it under your gun
C D G
You could save nations or make hard men cry
C Am D G Em G Em
When you show that glint in you eye
Em Am G Em G Em
The station it echoed with that dreadful sound
Am G Em G Em
Bullets flying underground
Am C G D
I could feel Grin Darling move away
G Em D Em
The air stood still when the gunmen stopped to pray
Em Am G Em G Em
Am G Em G Em
Am C G D
G Em D Em
Chorus
Em Am G Em G Em
I opened my eyes I could to see two stand
Am G Em G Em
One with the gun in his hand
Am C G D
And Grin in white she faced the man
G Em D Em G Em
The air stood still... when the tears began
Em Am G Em G Em
Darling’s snowy dress now hemmed in red
Am G Em G Em
Was a glistening among the dead
Am C G D
It happened so fast I can’t explain
G Em D Em
An the air it stirred from the throttle of the train
Chorus
2nd Chorus
G C D G
Where Oh Where did that smile come from
G C D G
And how do you hide it under your gun
C D G
You could save nations or make hard men cry
C Am D G
When you show that glint in you eye
