EmSimple man with siDmple hands runs Gon
EmAs the din of the sDolar wiGnd

And Bwhy not stEmay? I knoGw it won't be lDong

Tuning: Standard (Capo 1)

Em D G

Mountain lions they ate my dog, and why?

Em D G

Why’s it have to cost so much to die?

Em D G

Simple man with simple hands runs on

Em D G

As the din of the solar wind

Em D G

Crooked in a crowded room

Em D G

Miniatures by quilted moon

Em D G

They don’t see the snow

Em D G

That’s covering the coldness that grows

A B Em G D

Oh they go far and gather in the dark

B Em G D

And slide on the wood to find a place to walk

B Em G D

And why not stay? I know it won't be long

B Em G D

Descending to the bedrock

Em D G
