Cleveland County Blues by John Moreland
Cleveland County Blues
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:5th fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C
My baby is a tornado
F C
In the endless Oklahoma sky
Spinning devastation
F C
And singing me a lullaby
Am F
And you're wrecking all the rooftops
C
When April turns to May
Am Dm
It wouldn't make a difference
F
If I could or couldn't stay
Em
I fall back into love
Am F
And look up and then you're gone
G C
But I still feel you storming in my bones
|F C F C|
[Verse]
C
When I touch the hands of time
F C
They won't mind what and where I've been
C
Woke up in Cleveland County
F C
And you're picking up my pulse again
Am F
And we'll be tearing through your sheets
C
Or through the streets of this old town
Am Dm
Looking for the answers
F
To these doubts we drag around
Em
And babe I never learned
Am F
You'll say the word and then I'll break
G C
But I'll still feel your old familiar ache
[Chorus]
C Am F
So we're covered up in fiction
C
Chasing something true
Am Dm
But darling damn the luck
C
And damn the consequences too
F C Em G
I could bury all the memories
Am G F
I could patch up all the holes
G C
But I'd still feel your fingers on my soul
