There were no chords for this so I put some together! No tabs or riffs, just a
little something to start with.

C
Oh she’d drag me out with spurs
C
Into the candlelight
G
She did.
C
And she rode me like the bull
C
In some honky-tonk
G D
She did, oh yes she did
Am
But she’d never had to worry
C
About the dwindling of dollars
G
Or how life could strike out iron spite
D
And crush you without warning
Am C G D
But I did, Lo-Lord I surely did.
Am
And I was bold when I first met her
C G
Enamored with all the things that she did
Am
Oh but then something crept into me
C G D
It was a blackness I hated and I so deeply hid
Am
But I was jealous and concerned
C
Like some damn beast and she was beauty
G
Thought some dashing man would sweep her up
D
And bury me in torment
Am C G D
Yes, I did, though I ain’t too proud of it
C
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?
D
Or withdrawing from you?
Em G D
Did a plague of sinking feelings leave me speaking in half-truths?
C G
Oh I do not have the stomach to repair these gaping wounds
Am C G
I’ll take my share of the blame for all the things I did.
G D Am C
G D Am D Am
C
So now our castle gates are broken
C G
The wreckage is the price for what we did
C
Oh yeah that girl she was my lover
C G D
Now she is a stranger in the land in which I live
Am C
Oh ain’t it funny how far we travel in the company of friends
G D
Yet somehow the times we share but fill our faces with regret?
Am C G D
Oh, I hate it, though I feel it must be said.
C
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?
D
Or withdrawing from you?
Em G D
Did a plague of sinking feelings leave me speaking in half-truths?
C G
Oh I do not have the stomach to repair these gaping wounds
Am C G
I’ll take my share of the blame for all the things I did.
