Chords for 076 - Justin Townes Earle - "Christchurch Woman"

_ _ _ The first time I went to Australia I was in Sydney and I was sitting in a bar with several
people and this blonde sat down next to me and she started talking to me.
I realized really quickly that she sounded funnier than they did to me.
To me.
Sorry about that.
But _ I asked her, I was like, Dawn, where are you from? _
She said, well, I'm from [Em] Christchurch.
[Bm] _ That's on a south island [E] in New Zealand.
_ _ [Am] _ And she's a strange bird.
[D] _
For sure.
[G] _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ [E]
I'll just say she left an impression.
_ _ Yeah.
_ [N] _ So she got a song. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Ah ha! _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [N] We'll just wait until he's done.

_ [F] _ _ _ _ That was [Eb] awesome.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
doing alright, _ living in a plain old home. _ _ _ _
I was wasting my night, calling in my favorite songs on the local radio.
_ _ _ I was standing in the window, [Dm] _ [C] staring down into [F] the street.
_ _ _ _ Just when the lightning flashed and we thunder rolled and the telephone rang. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ I'm waiting [F] for a Christchurch woman in the rain. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Rain [Dm] keep coming, [C] but it ain't nothing but [F] a pain. _ _ _ _ _ _
All of this been a fool [Bb] of a [C] conversation and a couple of [F] _ _ snivels.
_ _ When I'm feeling this blue, I just need someone to laugh at my joke.
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ I'm waiting [C] for a Christchurch woman [F] in the rain. _ _ _ _
[Bb] And it's early [Dm] evening, [C] so it's no cooler than a [F] day. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Gm] Now [C] I know it's getting late. _
[Bb] _ It's a Friday [C] night and the crowds are starting to fade [Bb] away.
And I know I [C] shouldn't be here waiting on her.
But I keep [F] thinking every [C] second she'll be coming around the [Am] corner and [F] I should be in my room.
[Bb] Man, [F] I should learn how to forget. _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, she may be pretty, I'll be sick of her shit. _ _ _ _ _ _
