Soft Shoulder

Intro:

Am  G


Verse:

Am                            G
    I don't keep much stuff around
Am                    G
    I value my portability
Am                             G
    But I will say that I have saved
Am                                
    Every letter you ever wrote to 
G
me

Am                       
    The one you left on my 
      G
windshield
Am                         G
    Outside of that little motel
Am                                
    Is in the pocket of my old gig
   G
 bag
Am                             
    From back when life was more 
           G
soft shelled


Chorus:

Am                                
   Letters littered with little 
  F
lewd pictures
Am                           
   Drawn by the ghost of Woody 
   F
Guthrie
Am                                 F
   Who would use your big thick hand
        G                        F
Just to draw one or two for me

Interlude:

Am G  Am G


Verse:

Am                                
    And I think of your letters as
     G
 love letters
Am                              G
    Which is how I think of songs
Am                             
    In that it is the writing of 
         G
them
Am                               G
    That tends to carry us along

Am                                
    And I dance to one of your old
        G
 tunes
Am                                
    With my true love on our 
      G
wedding day
Am                                
    And your voice sang the way my
                     G
 heart would sing
Am                                
    If it finally knew just what 
      G
to say


Chorus:

Am                             
   Two people pulled over on the 
        F
same night
Am                           F
   To look up at the same stars
Am                                
   They both found their wheels 
       F
were spinning in a soft shoulder
          G                        
When they both got back into their 
   F
cars

Am                                
    And they missed fate's 
              F
appointed rendezvous
Am                                
    And then a whole lotta time 
    F
went by
Am                           
    And one day they were done 
       F
worshipping the landscape
              G
And they just put down their hands
    F
And moved into the sky


Interlude:

Am G  Am G


Refrain:

        F
And they had barely said hello
                              Am
And it was time to say goodbye


Outro:
