Chords

From the album Singing Bones [INTRO] D [VERSE 1]
D                    A7
Out in the Red Rock Desert

                           D
Sitting on the roof of my car

                  A7
Drinking cans of warm beer

                      D
Watching the sky get dark

 G                   D
Gail and I shot our empties

        A7          D
with an old rusted rifle

     G                D
Her golden hair went flying

       Bm          F#7
Like a wild brush fire

           G               A7     D
When the mountains turned red at dusk
[VERSE 2]
      D                     A7
Time passed in the burning desert

                          D
and the tumbleweeds they tumbled

                    A7
We lay in a golden fire

                           D
As the screaming buzzards circled
[CHORUS]
Bm                     F#7
Far down the darkened valley

     G                  D
The city lights still twinkled

       Bm             F#7
But my eyes saw only Gail

         G              D
And her hair of golden fire

           G               A7     D
When the mountains turned red at dusk
[VERSE 3]
         D                      A7
But the fire it burned right through her

                      D
Gail followed unseen voices

                     A7
They led her to the city

                      D
Deep in the darkened valley

         G                   D
I drove circles through the alleys

A7                  D
Calling my burning lover

     G               D
But Gail ran deeper into the gloom

   A7                D
Screaming at the streetlights
[CHORUS]
       Bm               F#7
And I lost her there forever

  G                   D
Deep in the valley's darkness

                         A7
My Gail with the golden hair

      G               D
That burns bright as fire

           G               A7     D
When the mountains turned red at dusk
