G
Mister pull up a chair

D                    
I got time for tears

Em                      Cmaj
Tell me all the stories that you never did

G
Of the salty south

D                   Em
The Seminoles held out

                      Cmaj
While Geronimo died in a lonely jail

G
A thousand tides, and

D
A thousand waves

Em           Cmaj
Takin' it all away

G        
It'll come back in

D                 
We'll be gone by then

       Em                   Cmaj
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live

Drain that land For a better plan Sugarcane and the civil man But now the ringin' dead them pines Planted in that time We gonna keep on killin' till they get it right A thousand tides, and A thousand waves Takin' it all away It'll come back in We'll be gone by then, oh And it's a miracle we ever learned to live I remember the wind As it was settlin' And every sun goin' down was a picture then But we look back at 'em framed They all look the same There's no sense of time, no sense of pain A thousand tides, and A thousand waves Takin' it all away And it'll come back in We'll be gone by then, oh And it's a miracle we ever learned to give
