Son Volt – Strands (Guitar)

D                          A
There is a slowness on the throttle

   Bm             G
A sterility at an end

D               A
Painted out of a corner

          G        A
Breaks to bind the strands

D                    A
To decide within the barnstorm

   Bm              G
Or shadows feeding in the lurch

D                 A
Just survive by a stone's throw

    G                  A    D G  Bm A G  D
The decision wheels at work

D                     A
Peace be found, if temporary

Bm                       G
Sirens stir the seeds of regret

D                      A
Gathered clouds or unleashing

         G                     A
Signs to walk, then place your bet

D                    A
The squatters on high stations

    Bm                G
The talkers that hold sway

D                 A
Verbal backslide rushes out

      G              A
Like grapeshot fine spray

   D
No anchor-drop sanctuary

   G
No remedy tends to show

Bm             A
No finding it uncovered

       G              D
Just a wide swing tremolo

D                    A
Broken down, lessons learned

   Bm           G
Redeemed on epitaphs

D               A
By blindfolded regulars

      G                    A
With countenance to switch back

D                   A
Echo farewell to midnight

        Bm               G
To the loneliness of the chase

       D                    A
To the minutes past his red-letter

   G                  A
To Elysian Fields defaced

   D
No pangs provide delivery

G
Breaking out of the throes

   Bm       A
No reverie decided

       G          D
Just a wide swing tremolo

D
No mercy in pokerface

G
Lend an ear before you go

   Bm             A
No sentence yet decided

       G              D
Just a wide swing tremolo
