Guy Clark – Tornado Time In Texas (Guitar)

Bm
Well the sky was blacker than a funeral suit

Bm
Hotter than a depot stove

Bm
Hide in the cellar

Bm
Here comes Amarillo

G            F#  Bm
Blowing up the road

Bm
You got your hail stones big as hen eggs boys

Bm
Clouds just as green can be

Bm
Ol mother nature's raisin hell

G                    F#     Bm
She parked the pickup in a tree

      D           A

         A               D
Take the paint right off of your barn

   D            A
Tornado time in Texas

   A                F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm

 Bm
 Now when pigs fly, no I mean really fly

Bm
You can bet that it's blowin hard

Bm
Uncle Clarence was sittin in the out-house

G                 F#     Bm
Now he's sitting in the yard

 Bm
 And Granny's got the barn cat under her arm

Bm
She's got a dish pan over her head

Bm
Daddy's countin kids, four, five, six

G                    F#     Bm
You better bring a loaf of bread

Hidin in the cellar with cannin jars

Bm
Sounds like a train up top

Bm
Hold your breath, peek outside

G                 F#     Bm
To see what we ain't got

Bm
Well it'll take your wheat, take your corn

Bm
Even take the cotton balls

Bm
Suck the Red river just dry as a bone

G                 F#     Bm
And dump it on Witchita Falls
