Gillian Welch – Wichita (Guitar)

C
She went back to Wichita

C
She went back to her ma and pa

G
Reckon I saw her next to my truck

                     C
Pumping gas with the car packed up.

C
We talked as neighbors will

C
There waiting for the tanks to fill

   G
We talked about nothing, how it might snow

                   C
How far she had to go.

      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall

        Am          C      F 
And the fields burn in the fall

                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call

              C
Back in Wichita.

C
She came in '85

C
Came here as a July bride

       G
But it never got easy, never got rich

                            C
Ain't got much but what she came here with.

C
Good times have all been spent

C
She ain't broke but she's badly bent

        G
There's nothing she wants here, nothing that shines

                  C
She's made up her mind.

      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall

        Am          C      F
And the fields burn in the fall

                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call

              C
Back in Wichita.

      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall

        Am          C      F
And the fields burn in the fall

                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call

              C
Back in Wichita.

G
She says for all my time

        F                 C
Well, I ain't got much to show

G
You can tell that man of mine and

 F                  G
anyone who wants to know

      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall

        Am          C      F
And the fields burn in the fall

                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call

              C
Back in Wichita.

                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call

              C
Back in Wichita.
