D Dsus4 D5 G
You'll recall from the sagas I hope Grettir's last stand at Drangey
A/C# G/B D Dsus2 D Dsus2
How his grip on the sword made his enemies cut off his hand
D Dsus4 D5 G
If he'd fled here instead, and had tasted this terrible coffee
A/C# G/B
Or read these letters you sent he'd surrender
D Dsus2 D Dsus2
and lay the blade down
G A7/4
And it's Hall - o - ween
D/F# G
Skinny ghosts dress like cowboys and rest
A Bmadd2 Bm Bmadd2 Bm
at the railing by my door
G A D Dsus2 D Dsus2
On their way from the children's ward
D Dsus4 D5 G
Bev Monroe and his Pembina Valley boys play at the party
A/C# G/B D Dsus2 D Dsus2
And I practice my English on nurses, "Oh, that's a nice name."
D Dsus4 D5 G
And they may ask for mine, but the burns on my back from the x-rays
A/C# G/B D Dsus2 D Dsus2
Say I shouldn't show anyone anything ever again
G A7/4
In another year
D/F# G
I'll be buried or shivering here.
A Bmadd2 Bm Bmadd2 Bm
Coughing at the grey spittoon
G A D Dsus2 D Dsus2
Painted orange by the harvest moon
D - Dsus4 - D5 G
A/C# - G/B - D - Dsus2 - D - Dsus2
D - Dsus4 - D5 G
A/C# - G/B - D - Dsus2 - D - Dsus2
G A7/4
Pack up mother's clothes
D/F# G
Drive her down to the new Betel Home
A Bmadd2 Bm Bmadd2 Bm
Sell the boat to Arnison
And then go...

stand up straight in the place you're longing for

And don't write to me anymore
