Murmuring State by Tall Heights
Murmuring State
Capo 5
Dm7 Am
Autumn on the Maine coast, Mary-Ann was closing windows
C Em
Talking to herself yeah she lived alone
Dm7 Am
Looking at her fields now, she steps outside of the farmhouse
C Em
Every year a little less eager to grow
Dm7 G
Those fields were born on a wild soul,
Am
still a fraction of a balanced whole
D F
Oh but control belonged in the hands of the oilmen now
[Chorus]
Am G D
Oh there's a trouble comin' in,
F Am G
it's got my heart in a murmuring state
Am C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
F Am G Am
That I'll be here to watch it fade, to watch it fade
G F
Oooo oooo ooooh
Dm7 Am
They were dancing in Havana, celebrating quinceñera
C Em
Speaking softly by the radio
Dm7 Am
Some believed that they could wait it out, others felt only a growing doubt
C Em
But few perceived the October storm
Dm7 G
Outside there was a rustle in the oak leaves
Am
There was a frost that was starting to heave
D F
So many more at home, singing their kids to sleep
[Repeat Chorus]
Dm7 Am
Jefferey built a gravestone, for the summer when he made known
C Em
Money it was gonna get tight for him
Dm7 Am
It was harder than he lot on, but you could say that he'd been betting on
C Em
The lesser horse, time and again
Dm7 G
Still he remembered when his kid was born
Am
He remembered how the air was warm
D F
But most of all, he thought about the task at hand
Am G D
Oh there's a trouble comin' in,
F Am G
it's got my heart in a murmuring state
Am C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
F Am G
That I'll be here to watch it fade, oh
Am G F
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
Am G F
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
Am G Am
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
G F
Oooo oooo ooooh

VERSE
They were dancing in Havana
celebrating quinceañera
speaking softly 'bout the radio.
Some believed that they could wait it out,
others felt only a growing doubt,
but few perceived the October storm.
Outside there was a rustle in the oak leaves,
there was a frost that was starting to heave,
so many more at home
singing their kids to sleep.
CHORUS
Oh there's a trouble comin' in
It's got my heart in a murmuring state.
Where must I fix my eyes to know
that I'll be here to watch it fade?
To watch it fade
Whoo ooo oo
To watch it fade
Whoo oooo ooo
VERSE
Jeffrey built a grave stone
for the summer when it made known
that money was gonna get tight for him.
It was harder than he let on,
but you could say that he'd been betting on
a lesser horse time and again.
Still he remembered when his kid was born,
he remembered how the air was warm,
but most of all, he thought about the task at hand.
CHORUS
Oh there's a trouble comin' in
It's got my heart in a murmuring state.
Where must I fix my eyes to know
that I'll be here to watch it fade?
