Intro: G 


Verse 1 chords: 

G 
Portable television, shrouded in snow 
     Am                 C/G 
In a raggedy van on the side of the road 
    G 
The night it had frozen through my little bones 
       Am                        C/G 
So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold 


Chorus 1 chords:
 
G                       Am          C/G 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
G                       Am          C/G         G 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 


Verse 2: use verse 1 chords 

Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves 
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me 
And where we were going it was built like a lie 
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why

And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 


Bridge:
 
  C/G                 G 
I saw it in the soil just recently 
          Am                                   G 
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields of infinite greed 
    C/G                       G 
And here laid the father, and here stood the son 
          Am                         G             C/G 
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone, for everyone 


Verse 3: use verse 1 chords
 
Portable television, take us away 
From this burden of reflection we've carried today 
Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air 
And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare

And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
