Tip: for the first part of the verse, leave the index finger of your left hand where it is and just change the C shape to a G shape by moving your middle and ring fingers one string down. Tip 2: For the F-chord, use your left thumb to play the bass note for an easier transgression. Tip 3: At the * strum down one only instead of normal strumming pattern. [Intro] C G Am G (x4) [Verses]

Off buffalo trails of the Indians

The Oklahoma sky was cutting through

Along the tracks with the runaway

And I quit counting stars that night

In the cold, by the satellite field

I opened up my guitar case

And all the songs were blue

Off the California coast we held so dear

With the winter trees and stars

Oh, we could open up that suitcase full of sparks
