SONG: MEAN OLD SUN ARTIST: TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] C Dm C Dm [Verse]
       Dm            Dm
Empty promises I’ve given

        C                 Dm
Hollow heart beats in my chest

           G                Dm
And every word of sterling silver

               C   G                 Dm
Stirred butterfliiiies beneath your breast
[Verse]
         Dm
Still untouched by ties a-binding

       C                     Dm
Goin’ where the Gulf breeze blows

            G                Dm
No ring of gold around your finger

            C     G              Dm
No ring of brass run through my nose
[Chorus]
C                 Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey

 C               Dm
Still coming up like a rose

                   F
Dead still in the garden

 C                    Dm
Waiting for the reveille

     C             Dm                C             Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

                          F                   C          G     Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Verse]
          Dm
Hear the song she sang in darkness

          C                  Dm
Tearful, fair, and free and fine

            G              Dm
You’re the one she softly whispers

      C   G          Dm
My canaaaary in the mine
[Chorus]
C                 Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey

 C               Dm
Still coming up like a rose

                   F
Dead still in the garden

 C                    Dm
Waiting for the reveille

     C             Dm                C             Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

                          F                   C          G     Dm  Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Instrumental/Solo] C Dm C Dm Dm F C Dm C Dm C Dm Dm F C G Dm C C Dm [Verse]
        Dm                   Dm
I met a man, pale gray with wisdom

         C                 Dm
Told me faith will come collect

               G                 Dm
Hard tempered steel bites at my ankles

             C    G           Dm
Soft cotton rove burns at my neck
[Chorus]
C                 Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey

 C               Dm
Still coming up like a rose

                   F
Dead still in the garden

 C                    Dm
Waiting for the reveille

     C             Dm                C             Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

                          F                   C          G     Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me

                          F                   C          G     Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
