Dm The whole town nearly Am died,
C When rocks flew from the G sky,
Bb F (sounds nice to throw a Gm in here)
The stray dogs whined and howled,
Am At dark foreboding cloud Dm s.
Dm The mayor screamed and f Am led,
C The priest hid under his G bed,
Bb Uprooted trees did s F pin,
Am To the sound of a merciless Dm wind.
CHORUS
Bb Will you love me F when I'm old?
Am I'm still hopin I can Dm get that far.
Bb No-one escaped the F whirlwind's hold,
Am Except the jailor and his Dm pack of cards.
*I like this bit, it's a bit tricky.Run-down from Bb to F with the bass notes followin
notes he sings:
Bb F
The beauty is in the spontaneaity
And I Bb sit out s F ide watchin
Bb Fallin F stars playin
Bb D minor F chords on a
Bb Spanish F guitar ah-ah.
(think there might be a slide to Gm here before goin straight to the Dm in the verse)
VERSE 3(same as the other two)
Dm...
Well clothes blew threw the streets,
And so did cinema seats,
Their souls could not be saved,
I dug a thousand graves.
Repeat CHORUS then some more D minor to lead into the solo.
The end chords are very hard to pick out,especially while distracted by such an amazin
but it seems to be a reptition of a Dm - Bb riff maybe something like this:
Dm Bb
Well that's the best that i can do.If you can't tell from half the crap I've already
I love this song to pieces so anyone who wants to learn it automatically earns my
world needs more people who appreciate Ed. Thanks,goodbye and Que Pasa?
