Capo 5th, Standard Tuning
I think C can be played as Cmaj9 in the verses.
[Cmaj9]
[A]Hair blowing in the hot wind,
Time hanging from a clothespin
There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna
heal[E]
I smell the leather of your [A]new car
Drive through the desert after nightfall
Sleep on the shoulder, keep the [G]stars all [C]to ourselves[A]
[A]The kind of love that makes my back hurt
Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
She's turning over on a mattress made of air[E]
I close my eyes I see a [A]staircase
Leading upwards into blank space
All of creation makes a [G]sound too [C]soft t[A]o hear
[E]So I remain be[G]tween her legs
Shel[A]tered from all my fears[E]
While [G]bikers glide by [A]highway shrines
Where [C]pilgrims [Cmaj9]disappear[A]
[A]I know that trouble's been your good friend
Kept you company on the weekends
Kept you company even once your mind was made[E]
Said it's over and it's [A]finished
Now a headache is all you're left with
We're no different I got [G]debts I'd [C]like to pay[A]
[A]We should move to Sausalito
Living's easy on a house boat
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep [E]
In the morning with the [A]sunrise
Look in the water see the blue sky
As if heaven has been [G]laid there [C]at our feet[A]
[E]So we remain b[G]etween these waves
Shel[A]tered for all our years[E]
While [G]bikers glide by [A]highway shrines
Where [C]pilgrims [Cmaj9]disappear[A]
Where [C]time takes [Cmaj9]icebergs
Where [C]fields burn [Cmaj9]westward
Where [C]pilgrims [Cmaj9]disappear [A]
I think C can be played as Cmaj9 in the verses.
