[Am] [Em] [C]
[G] [E]
[E] [D]
[Em] I wish I hope I wonder [A] where you at sometimes.
[Em] Is your back against the wall or [A] just across the line?
Have [Em] you been standing in the rain [A] beside a nursery rhyme?
[Em] Trying to recall some long lost [A] kind of piece of mind, piece [D] of mind.
Try [G] spending the night sometime all [D] alone in a frozen room.
After making [A] plans, [E] you're settling the right.
[C]
[Em] [C]
[Em] I dream that I got up now in [A] my basement.
And [Em] he waited there for me to have [A] this accident.
So he [Em] could drink my wine and eat me [A] like a sacrament.
I [Em] just stood there like I do.
And then I came and went, I came and [D] went.
Like a bird [G] in a foreign sky, couldn't even [D] say goodbye.
I come and [A] share the pain with Saddles [Em] and the Right.
[G] La la la, [D] la la la, [C] la la la, [B] la la.
[G] I
[D] [C]
[B] saw [E]
[C] [Em]
[C] [Am] a friend who doesn't know that [A] I'm his friend just yet.
His [Em] eyes and mouth were widely open [A] and his child was sad.
Like he fell off a cliff and hadn't hit the bottom yet.
[Em] I wish Steve Woodard pulled those things on [A] me without a net, without [D] a net.
Had him [G] up to the house one time.
We was [D] having a real good time.
And then [A] he went in the lane.
He [Em] settled in the rain.

[A] [Em]
[C] [G] [Bm]
[C] [Am] In the laundromat not too far [B] from the [A] Alamo.
[Em] Said this girl that stole my records [E] a very long [A] ago.
[Em] And she wishes, wants, and washes [A] out her dirty clothes.
[Em] And she shuts her eyes and dreams [A] about her one-eyed Joe, her one-eyed [D] Joe.
Got a car [G] parked on a dirty road.
[D] Never knew it was a little cheapo.
Just couldn't [A] take the strain.
[Em] Settled in the rain.
[G] La, [D] la, la, la, la, la.
[C] La, la, la.

[Em] [C] [Bm]
[E] Deep southern storms, blue lonesome.
[A] Still dark blue and high.
[Em] Black clouds are twisting in orange.
[A] Ziggles flashing by.
[Em] Like some cheap religious painting [D] hanging [A] in the sky.
[Em] You just touched my face and I wanna [A] break right down and cry.
Break down [D] and cry.
If this [G] shit ever come down your way,
[D] Grab her by the throat and say,
Won't you please [A] explain this?
Saddle in [D] the rain.
[A] [D]
