New Auburn

             A                 F#m
Every time I drive up on fifty-three
               A                 E
I'm seeing sideways up ahead of me
                Bm           
There's little lakes, there's 
          F#m
little fountains
                   A             
There's little molehills made out 
        E
of mountains
                     Bm      
There's little prayers that I 
   F#m A E
perceive, ah


[Verse 2]
             A                 F#m
Every time I drive up on fifty-four
               A              
It goes past Mick's and Dick's 
             E
general store
                  A                
There goes the signal, it's dropped
      F#m
 for miles
                  A                
There goes the static at the top of
     E
 the dial


[Chorus]
Continues after the ad
   Bm                 F#m A E
Every wild plan screamed it
         Bm            F#m        
By only a hundred years of white 
   A  E
men
            Bm                    
Who am I to witness, who am I to 
F#m
see
            A                     E
Who am I to notice which way a tree
Bm                  F#m     A E
Falling alone fall silently


[Verse 3]
              A                 
Half a mile later, just past the 
     F#m
sign
                 A             E
There's a Winnebago, an Econoline
            A             F#m
I smell the lake on up aways
               A               
I know the exit and the parking 
    E
place


[Chorus]
           Bm               F#m
We used to swim out in the sun
              A                 
We were swimming out there under 
     E
heaven
 Bm                        
We were too young to have been 
F#m             A E
unforgiven


[Verse 4]
          A                  F#m
Who are you to listen, who are you 
to care?
              A               
Just someone who knows me from 
   E
anywhere
A                     F#m
Where do we come from out of thin 
air?
A                                 
I hear you whisper in the back of 
  E
my hair
