Billy Strings – My Alice (Guitar)

Dm                  C               Am
Early in the fall, back deep in the woods

     C                          Dm
The first hint of frost is upon you

                      C             Am
About a mile beyond a field's stone wall

     C                            Dm
It's not hard to get lost if you want to

Dm                       C              Am
Too far from the city to see the white lights

   C                         Dm
I move in the shadows under cover of night

                            C            Am
Too far from the highway to blow a flat tire

      C                      Dm
So I stare at the ashes and fire

Dm                      C          Am
Well John St. Paul is a well-known man

   C                         Dm
Of wealth in his skyscraper palace

                          C                 Am
He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives

         C                       Dm
I don't like how he looks at my Alice

Dm                      C            Am
I work his garage with wrench in my glove

 C                                Dm
Bring the stench of his gasoline home to my love

                               C       Am
She swears once again she has all she desires

   C                         Dm
As I stare at the ashes and fire

Dm                          C          Am
One day late last week when I got the word

    C                         Dm
The boss needs his Caddy all steady

                           C       Am
I remembered his eyes all over my wife

   C                         Dm
As I carefully got my tools ready

Dm                               C          Am
What a terrible shame should he ever break down

     C                                Dm
With me on his trail and so far from town

                                   C          Am
If his brakes were to fail, if he blew out a tire

    C                          Dm
And I stared in the ashes and fire

Dm                      C         Am
Now John St. Paul is a well-known man

   C                        Dm
Of wealth in his skyscraper palace

                          C                Am
He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives

   C                             Dm
I don't like how he looks at my Alice

   C                             Dm
I don't like how he looks at my Alice
