[Intro]
F Bb Dm C Bb (x2)
[Verse 1]
F C Bb
He was waiting for a better time
F C Bb Dm
To tell her he'd be gone
C Bb
It was blowing up a storm that night
Dm C Bb
And something about it just seemed wrong
F C Bb
So, he waited 'til the morning came
F C Bb
With lightning all around
Dm C Bb
And it broke his soul, but he let her go
Dm C Bb F
And split that tore-up town
[Chorus]
F Bb Dm
All these roads
C Bb Dm
Coulda swore that they closed
C Bb Dm
All these towns
C Bb
Coulda swore they fell down
[Verse 2]
F Bb
Tom Barrett was a killing man
F Bb
From the 21st platoon
Dm Bb
Started out in a heavy tank
Dm Bb
Tearing down the pounding dunes
F Bb
And the pilot guards would laugh and say
F Bb
We see you're back again
Dm Bb
Said I tell ya if they had their way
Dm Bb F
They'd send me just to fight the wind
[Chorus]
F Bb Dm
All these roads
C Bb Dm
Coulda swore that they closed
C Bb Dm
All these towns
C Bb
Coulda swore they fell down
[Bridge]
Dm C Bb
And this life is getting old
Dm C Bb
I never see no peace
F C Bb
On the day I turned 41
Dm C Bb
I was crawling up a ditch in Greece
Dm C Bb
bout to end a man
Dm C Bb
When they stopped me at his heels
F C Bb
Never knew how they handled him
Dm C Bb
And don't guess I ever will
[Instrumental]
F Bb Dm Cm Bb
F Bb Dm Bb
[Verse 3]
F Bb
He sits alone with a local guy
F C Bb
Amongst the plow machines
Dm C
Pushing piles
Bb
For miles and miles
Dm C Bb
Rubble like you've never seen
F Bb
He said, I'd tell em' that I've had enough
F C Bb
But no matter where I went
Dm C
They'd have me caught
Bb
Before the sun came up
Dm C Bb F
Tamed and ready to repent
[Chorus]
F Bb Dm
All these roads
C Bb Dm
Coulda swore that they closed
C Bb Dm
All these towns
C Bb
Coulda swore they fell down
[Outro]
