Mark Lanegan – St Louis Elegy (Guitar)

B              D
I look at the sky

           E              B
I see an airplane as it flies

            B                    D
Is this the way they said Jesus came?

                 E
Gone through St Louis

            B
Gone straightaway

                E*                  B
And I hear the winter will cut you quick

               E*                          B
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick

B              D
Woman are you home

             E               B
A house of cards a frame of bones

       B            D
Here I am earthly bound

          E                B
Said Hallelujah Im going down

               E*                 B
And the river Jordan is deep and wide

               E*                          B
I think I see forever across on the other side

B              D
I look at the sky

          E               B
I see a nightbird as it flies

B         D                E
Over the old bent cherry trees

               B
Shivering in a row

               E*                  B
Down here the winter will cut you quick

                 E*                          B
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick

                 E*                  B
And the dead of winter will cut you quick

                 E*                          B
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
