Altar In Your Box by Jerry Joseph


     Altar In Your Box 



Capo:no capo
 
Am      G        F
  Here along the roadside
          Am        G        F
I brought nails and wood and paint
     Am    G      F
I've had a little trouble
  Am     G    F
Deciding on a saint
Am        G         F
  A cross from Ensanada
       Am          G         F
In the dark it's supposed to glow
     Am      G         F
Some beads I bought in Garberville
 Am     G    F
Another life ago
 
G               F
Out here on the highway
             G             F
I build your altar in your box
     G                F
Some shelter when its raining
     Am                 G
Some shade for when its not
     Am    G    F
It's not
 
       Am        G        F
Though red would probably suit you
        Am        G        F
I think I'll just paint it white
         Am    G      F
It's the color of the virgin
         Am     G      F
She's my beacon in the night
Am         G      F
  A statue of St. Francis
   Am      G      F
He holds a little lamb
    Am      G    F
And answers to a question
        Am     G      F
So much bigger than I am
 
G               F
Out here on the highway
          G             F
It's your altar in your box
     G                F
Some shelter when its raining
     Am                 G
Some shade for when its not
 
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
    F     C          G
The women throw Hail Mary's
        C     Am      G
At your altar in your box
 
   Am          G      F
At last I will hang a rosary
        Am     G       F
That my father gave to me
     Am    G        F
From olive trees in Lebanon
     Am       G     F
Some personal history
Am            G            F
  And I won't include your photograph
   Am         G       F
Or carve your name in stone
       Am    G         F
So the women who bring flowers
    Am        G         F
Can make your box their own
 
G               F
Out here on the highway
          G             F
It's your altar in your box
     G                F
Some shelter when its raining
     Am                 G
Some shade for when its not
 
    G              F
And I will light a candle
    G                F
And say a prayer for you
        G               F
So that I will not feel guilty
       Am                  G
On the nights that I drive through
 
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
    F          C       G
The big wheels keep on rolling
        C     Am      G
By your altar in your box
 
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
    F        C     G
The truckers all salute you
        C     Am      G
In your altar in your box
 
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
        F     C       G
At your altar in your box
    F          C       G
You just might find me kneeling
        C     Am      G
By your altar in your box
 
     Am  G  F
As I sit      beside the water
    Am        G        F
And watch the men rake rocks
  Am         G         F
I trust that you'll be happy
        Am    G       F
In your altar in your box
