The Jayhawks – This Forgotten Town (Guitar)

G                   A
Rode out of this forgotten town

C                D
Had to watch my old horse drown

G              A
Buried by the river

          C              D
Chocolate colored by the mud

Bm             Em
When we young we were judged

       C               G
By the choices that we made

Bm                  Em
And all the time we wasted and

    C          A              D
The love, the love that I betrayed

G                      A
They built the dam and everything changed

C              D
Little houses huddled on the range

G          A
Fear came rolling in

    C              D
And covered up the sun

Bm             Em
In the land of milk and honey

       C               G
That's where I laid my claim

Bm                 Em
But every day that I lost money

   C          A             D
It brought me closer to the grave

D         C
Where the river don't flow

D         C
Where the grass don't grow

G              A
Preacher had a cross to bear

C              D
He smelled salvation in the air

G               A
Tempted by the silver and gold

        C               D
Put him six feet in the ground

Bm                Em
I came across her by the road

C                     G
Dressed in her Sunday best

Bm                   Em
She took my hand and led me home

        C          A               D
To the place, the place I can't forget

D         C
Where the river don't flow

D         C
Where the grass don't grow

G            A
Living in a makeshift tent

C             D
Couldn't find money for the rent

G                     A
Do you believe in the kingdom to come

        C              D
And the promise of the word

Bm             Em
In the land of milk and honey

       C               G
That's where I laid my claim

Bm                 Em
But every day that I lost money

   C          A             D
It brought me closer to the grave

D         C
Where the river don't flow

D         C
Where the grass don't grow

D         C
Where the river don't flow

D         C
Where the grass don't grow
