Am Bm#5 C F
Two flat tires on the Model T
C G
Two birds fighting for a bug
Faded squares like snowy TV screens
Where your photographs were hung
Keep Old Glory folded on a shelf
In a cabinet full of guns
Sell that engine block to someone else
Maybe they can make it run
How’d that calf get out beyond the fence?
How’d that hole get in your jeans?
Movie show was once but 20 cents
That mud there was once a stream
(Chorus Slide Guitar)

C F
The moon is high
C
Your nose is burned
G
Your dog is gone
C F
Your mouth is dry
C
The milk is turned
G
But Barbara’s home
(Repeat Intro)
Am Bm#5 C F
Hand in hand you watch the sun go down
C G
Colored lullaby of God
Barbara wears her mother’s old nightgown
Sleeping with the nightlight on
White sheet blowing on a short clothesline
New tree bending to the breeze
This clock’s beautiful but can’t keep time
What’s that scar on both your knees?
C F
The moon is high
C
Your nose is burned
G
Your dog is gone
C F
Your mouth is dry
C
The milk is turned
G
But Barbara’s home
(Outro -- Sam plays each of these for 4 beats)
