Rosanne Cash – The Sunken Lands (Guitar)

Am   G       C
Five cans of paint,

        G
And the empty fields,

        Dm           Am
And the dust reveals.

Am       G   C
The children cry,

    G
The work never ends,

              Dm            Am
There's not a single friend.

F6                G
Who will hold her hand,

       C      Dm    Am G C G Dm7 Am
In the sunken lands?

Am      G   C
The mud and tears,

         G
Melt the cotton balls,

       Dm        Am
It's a heavy toll.

Am        G   C
His words are cruel,

         G
And they sting like fire,

         Dm           Am
Like the devil's choir.

F6                    G
But who will hold her hand,

       C      Dm
In the sunken lands?

Am     G   C
The river rises,

        G
And she sails away,

          Dm        Am
She could never stay.

Am      G       C
Now her work is done,

       G
In the sunken lands,

             Am         G C G Dm F Am Am7 A Am
There's five empty cans.
