G                 C    Am
  It's New Year's Eve

                 D
and California's gonna kill you soon

G              C     Am
   The Barstow boys

                D
buckeyes in the shadow of the moon
Verse 2 chords:
G       C                               Am                          
  Black houses in the hill and roadside hearts

            D
Dying for a place to fall apart

G     C                                     Am
  Who knew what you could learn to live without

              D
Mother Mary's lying in your mouth
Chorus 1 chords:
Bm     Em                                     Am
  Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine

                   D
and every girl has got an axe to grind

Bm    Em
  You left to look for heaven

           Am            D
But you're far from that hard light tonight
Interlude: [G - C - Am - D]x2 Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords] So quietly we've lost another year the desert put a babbler in your ear mean firewood and I miss you again Barstow boys are spit into the wind Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords] Back home the hammer always has to fall crosses barely hanging on the wall Someday I know you'll never leave me But we're far from that hard light tonight
