Then came the storm that washed the roads out
C/G G
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
[Riff 1] Dm Am
Second line drums marched into the sea
E Am
While the clouds overhead cried mutiny
E Am
They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
Dm Am
As her words failed, the sky grew dim
E Am
Recalled how close to that exit I've been

Writer's Minor Holiday, thumb tacks spread out

Irish whiskey glass, here comes my fine bright haired lass

Like a trash fire burning and burning it

Tucked under your cap and for a moment

There's a stillness before the room spins again

Wasted on the weekend

Floating in her eyes at the bottom of a well

Floating in her eyes ride it out for a spell
F G C C F G C C F G
On a Minor holiday Transfer this weight

On a Minor holiday Transfer this weight

On a Minor holiday a Minor holiday

On a Minor holiday Going back and forth

I'm gonna walk these streets of cold concrete

Like I'm a ghost searching for its grave
Dm Am Dm Gm
Then I'll dwell by the edge of this man made lake

And descend into the city that holds no place for me

But the streets with no stir of life

And all the houses on the streets, are wholly submerged
Dm Am Dm Gm
Then I'll gather the leaves from the cell phone trees

And return them to their place and pretend someone's calling for me

Am C Dm G Am
Dialing in a forgotten voice, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
C Dm G Am
Sweeping through illegal ports, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
C Dm G Am
Ships drifting out of tune, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
G Am G Am G Am G
Many, many more, sculpting the shoreline, Etching the harbor and the people
G Am
stayed afloat
Am Dm G Am
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Am C Dm G Am
Dialing in a forgotten voice, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
Am C Dm G Am
Sweeping through illegal ports, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Am C Dm G Am
Ships drifting out of tune, Can't stop the waves coming like a ghost
Am G Am G
Is that your shape, in the foam of the sea
Am G Am G
After all these years, coming home to me?
Am Am G Dm Am Am G Dm
La Chascona, hearts to ocean
C C G G
Lying in the bath fully clothed
Dm Am C Dm
Ready for the ocean's wake,
G Am C Dm G Am C Dm G
The tears won't wash away, her eyes can't erase
Am C G G
Am C G G Am C G G Am C G G
Not safe to say, in her native tongue
Am C G G
A radio voice drowning out
Am C G G
The general's song lingering on
Am C G G
A raft made of books from a driftwood house
G Am
Returns to the waves
