"The Storm"
Sturgill Simpson
High Top Mountain (2013)
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Please don't Ethink me a lazy man
Because I've Dbeen sitting around Aall day with the Eblues
I know Ehow it looks but don't misunderstand
It's just that DI can tell a Astorm's about to Ebrew
Cause there's Dthunder Ainside my Emind
There's Dlightning Abehind these Eeyes
[Chorus]
There's a Dlull and the Awind is dying Edown
Don't let it Dfool Ayou the storm ain't Edone
Flood waters Drolling in and Amy hearts gonna Edrown
Our love's F#mwilted like a flower that Aain't got enough Esun
[Solo]
D  A  E
D  A  E
[Verse 2]
Well the Ethunder in my head might go away
And the Driver of pain will Aflow back to the Esea
If Eyou would only come back home to stay
It'd bring a Dstop to the rain and Ahappiness to Eme
Well if Eyou would just come back I'd be so grateful
And the Dstorm Awould be Eover
The Eworld wouldn't seem so mean and F#mhateful
And I'd Dlay you down on a Abed of yellow Eclover
[Chorus]
There's a Dlull and the Awind is dying Edown
Don't let it Dfool Ayou the storm ain't Edone
Flood waters Drolling in and Amy hearts gonna Edrown
Our love's F#mwilted like a flower that Aain't got enough Esun
[Solo]

There's a Dlull and the Awind is dying Edown
Don't let it Dfool Ayou the storm ain't Edone
