Emmylou Harris

^E The streets are ^C#m cracked
And there's glass every ^E where
And a baby stares ^A out
With motherless ^E eyes
Under long gone ^C#m beauty
On fields of ^E war
Trapped in l ^A ament
To the poet's ^E core
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh ^A where will I ^E be
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh when that ^A trumpets ^E sounds ^{C#m E A E
E} Met an Indian ^C#m boy in O ^E ttawa
He laid me ^A down on a bed of ^E straw
Said don't waste your ^C#m breath don't waste your ^E heart
Don't blister your h ^A eels
Running in the ^E dark
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh ^A where will I ^E be
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh when that ^A trumpets ^E sounds
^C#m Yea like the ^E heat
Of your ^A body laying under ^E me
May your ^F#m wild lip get you where your g ^A oing
With your i ^F#m nventions your intentions your l ^A aughter
Your forever y ^E earning
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh ^A where will I ^E be
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh when that ^A trumpets ^E sounds ^{C#m E A E}
I walked to the ^C#m river
And I walked to the ^E rim
I walked thru the ^A teeth of the reaper's g ^E rin
I walked to ^C#m you rolled up in ^E wire
To the other s ^A ide of des ^E ire
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh ^A where will I ^E be
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh when that ^A trumpets ^E sounds
Oh ^C#m where ^{C#m/B A} oh ^C#m where ^{C#m/B A} oh ^F#m when ^A that tr ^D umpet ^E sounds
Oh ^C#m where ^{C#m/B F#m} oh where oh ^D when that trumpet so ^E unds
^E Well the heart opens ^C#m wide like it's never seen ^E love
And addiction ^A stays on tight like a ^E glove
Oh ^C#m where ^E oh ^A where will I ^E be
