D Bm7 A
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum

Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
Ruth B draws we're fixing to get high
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum
But everybody says this place is beautiful
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
But everything's the same this town is pitiful
And I'll be getting out as soon as I can fly
Life goes by on a Talihina sky
The hopped up boys are looking for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well they've all got their share
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time
But everybody says this place is beautiful
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
But everything's the same this town is pitiful
And I'll be getting out as soon as I can fly
Life goes by on a Talihina sky
Life goes by on a Talihina sky

Life goes by on a Talihina sky
Life goes by on a Talihina sky

version 5
The Main Riff is played on my piano but this the general idea on guitar:
e--7----7-----7-7----7---|-------------------------|
B----10---7-------10---7-|-7--------7-7------------|
G------------------------|---9-7--9-----9-7--------|
D------------------------|-------------------9-7---|
A------------------------|-------------------------|
E------------------------|-------------------------|
you may want to try and move it 12 frets but it'll be much harder.
