Dead Melodies

G D C Em E Am D G D D7

[Verse 1]
G              D        C          Em E
where will you go when this day is over
  Am        D     G           D   D7
a gambler's purse lays on the road
Em
straight to your door
A                        D
snakes have gone crazy tonight
Dm             Am        D    D7
winding their way out of sight

[Verse 2]
G          D      C         Em E
a laugh, a joke a sentiment wasted
Am         D         G                D   D7
seasons of strangers they've come and gone
Em
doldrums are pounding,
A                             D
cheapskates are clowning this town
Dm           Am             D    D7
who could disown themselves now

[Verse 3]
G   D     C              Em  E
engineer, slow down this old train
Am          D     G            D   D7
cinders and chaff laugh at the moon
Em
night birds will cackle
A                      D
rotting like apples on trees
Dm            Am       D        A7
sending their dead melodies...to me
