No Capo
G A D
She said don't worry baby when she left me
Em C G D
You were alright on your own before I came along and made this happy home
G A D Bm
And you can take that damned ol guitar, pack it up and hit the road
A G D
After all youre probably better off alone
G A D
So I grabbed that ol guitar and hit the highway
Em C G D
It doesnt take too long to pack When an empty seat holds everything you own
G A D Bm
And I found comfort knowing with a moments notice I could roll
A G D
After all I'm probably better off alone
Chorus:
G
And the cold wind blows
G D
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
A G A G
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
Em G D
Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
G A D
I was just past Arizona when she called me
Em C G D
Her voice, it seemed to change as if it aged although it wasnt long ago
G A D Bm
She said lately I've been thinking maybe you could come back home
A G D
I told her maybe I'm just better off alone
Chorus:
G
And the cold wind blows
G D
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
A G A G
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
Em G D
Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
G A D
Just like waves upon the cliffs along the ocean
Em C G D
Time goes by until the water changes rock to beaches made of sand
G A D Bm
And this ol heart can take a beatin just like mother nature planned
A G D
I just hope it isnt more than I can stand
Chorus:
G
And the cold wind blows
G D
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
A G A G
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
Em G D
Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
Em G D
Just like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
