Intro: G C G C 

verse 1 
G                             C 
Up at dawn and on the highway 
Em        G          D        G 
Mom asleep against the window 
  C 
Light is breaking through 
G                           C 
I hum a song to keep me company 
Em          D                G            Em       D 
I swear to god I heard you hum the same tune 
 C               G        D                   B C       G 
If you wanted to I think you could've been a singer 
I got it from you 
 G                         C 
Switch on the radio at Dansville 
Em      D                                 C 
I comb the static signal looking for the news 
G                               C 
I found the frequency for sports talk 
Em         D            G                D 
All the callers lining up to sing the blues 
               C          D                          C 
I heard this Sammy kid is supposed to be something special 
 C  
I hope he is 
D 
I hope he is 

    G                            C 
I spread your ashes in Orchard Park 
    G 
In the creek beyond the east wall 
 C 
So I know where you are 
               G                        C 
Come November when I'm screaming at my TV in the dark 
                   G                   C 
You're screaming with me from Orchard Park 

verse 2 
  G                          C 
Mom and I laugh on the way home 
  Em      G                       C 
She says she's got a black thumb 

All the house plants met their doom 
 G                            C 
But she still tends to your tomatoes 
  Em       D 
Says the garden's looking healthy 
         Em             D 
She's already seeing blooms 
             C 
I don't got much to lose 
 D       B                Em 
But I keep close to my chest 
                C 
The things I still do 

     G                            C 
I spread your ashes in Orchard Park 
     G 
In the creek beyond the east wall 
  C 
So I know where you are 
                G                       C 
Come November when I'm screaming at my TV in the dark 
                  G                      C 
You're screaming with me from Orchard Park
