 A                         G         A 
Mud colored dogs guarding shot gun shacks, 
G     D          G          A 
 Red door on the green Cadillac 
     A                          G           A 
Hot wind blowing smoke through graveyard streets 
    G          D            G           A 
A face I recognize staring back through me 
                                     
                         G          D                    A           
Aint going down to the well no more, Believe I had my fill 
                        G              D 
Work that ground til I done got sore,                                               
                            A

     A                   G         A 
Played that dive twenty some odd years 
              G             D           G         A           
Through the faith and the whiskey, you face your fears 
         A                      G           D 
I remember the night you broke down to the core, 
              G           D                G          A 
You threw a black Stratocaster through a plate glass door 
                        G           D                    A

See that woman in the corner, brother she knows 
        G         D           G          A 
Every inch of my body, every mile of my soul
