Verse
A E A D
I grew up here all of my life
Bm E A E
But I dreamed some day I'd go
A E A D
Where the blue-eyed girls and the red guitars and
Bm E A
The naked rivers flow
D
I'm not all I thought I'd be
A
I've always stayed around
D
And I've been as far as Mercy and Grand
B7 E7
Frozen to the ground
A E A D
I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave
Bm E A E
So kiss me once and then
A E A D
I'll go to hell, I might as well
Bm E A
Be whistlin' down the wind
Break
D A
The bus is at the corner
D A
Clock on the wall
D A
Broken down windmill
B7 B7
And no wind at all
D A
I've yelled and I cursed
D A
If I stay here I'll rust
D A
I'm stuck like a shipwreck
E7 E7
Out here in the dust

E A D
The sky is red and the world's on fire
Bm E A E
And the corn is taller than me
A E A D
And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain
Bm E A E
And the road is wet as the sea
D
Sometimes the music from a dance
A
Will carry across the plains
D
Places I've been dreaming of
B7 E7 E7
Dream only of your face
A E A D
There are places where they never sleep
Bm E A E
And the circus never ends
A E A D
So I will take the Marleybone coach
Bm E A E
And be whistling down the wind
A E A D
So I will take the Marleybone coach
Bm E A E
And be whistling down the wind
