Chords

[Intro] E F#7 B7 E [Verse 1]
E                      F#7
So much silence to my hometown streets

B7                                    E
Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep

E                            F#7
Where the shadows fall from sycamore trees

B7                                    E
Fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east
[Chorus]
A          E           F#m              E
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea

A           E            B7sus4    B7
I will be crossing it in changes

A                    E                   F#m        E
This 'ole town never did really care that much for me

A            E            B7               A         E   F#m   E

It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find

             B7                     E
If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in your wine

E                        F#7
But you cannot save your past for today

          B                   E
It will leave you cold on an outbound train

Folded memories in my soul

             B7                      E
It's that old blue line that you can never go back home

E                      F#7
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise

      B7                            E
He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line
