Dm7 F Blue light rain, well Csus4 C Unbroken chain Am Eb ** Looking for familiar faces F Em G Am C in an empty window pane. Dm7 Fsus4 Listening for the secret, Csus4 Am searching for the sound C G/B Am But I could only hear the preacher G F Em and the baying of his hounds.
G Am C
[Verse 2]
Dm7 F Willow sky, woah, Csus4 C I walk and wonder why, F G ** They say love your brother, F Em G Am C But you will catch it when you try. Dm7 Fsus4 Roll you down the line poor boy, Csus4 Am Drop you for a loss, C G/B Am Ride you out on the cold railroad G F Am And nail you to a cross.
