Well I fo C und a bunch of letters they were w Fmaj ritten for the fella
Who br G oke your Momma's heart
And the env C elope folds sm Fmaj elled of her ancient pe G rfume
Fmaj I'll bet she didn't k G now
How to res C pond before the bla /b nkets of s Am now caught him out wan Fmaj dering al G one
With no place to g C o
(Fmaj,C)
Fmaj And there was stars in the s G ky
There were ho C uses on the h /b ill and there were bo Am ttles of pills
That were Fmaj easy to buy, k G eep her warm from the o C ncoming storm
Well I found them in the north-west corner of the attic in a box
Labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'
Didn't know what I was looking, maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower sent him to war
He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart and when he hit
the shore, must of been a target for the gunner-men
There were stars in the sky
And there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
Where he would lie, shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes
(Chorus 1)
Whiskeytown
