Albuquerque Low

A                                 
I spring awake and the flames lick
              D  A
 at my heels
A                                 
I fall and freeze in sentiments 
                       D
I’ve grappled with for years, like
F#m               E              
How I’ll give up everything for 
D             A
what I love to do
    F#m               E           
And how it all means nothing if it
  D             A         E
 wasn’t all for you, old friend
          F#m            D        
I slam my fucking head into the 
     A
wall again

[Chorus]

D          A            D       
Before you go, promise you’ll 
         A
commit my bones
        D              A          
To the salty sand and stone on the
  E             A
 Gulf of Mexico
A/G# F#m            D       A  
And when the tide rises to 
         E
baptize the shore
         D            A     
Let the wind take me home via 
  E            A
Albuquerque low.

A                             
We sat and smoked on a speeding 
                  D  A
midnight train
A                                 
I arrived and mourned the fact 
                              D  A
that she would come and go again
F#m             E              D
Hung up on the cities that we 
              A
both wanted to leave
F#m                 E         
Speaking slow and somber like we 
     D                 A          
liked the taste of air between our
     E
 teeth
               F#m              D 
We watched the sun come up and 
          A
faced reality

[Chorus]

D          A            D       
Before you go, promise you’ll 
         A
commit my bones
        D              A          
To the salty sand and stone on the
  E             A
 Gulf of Mexico
A/G# F#m            D       A  
And when the tide rises to 
         E
baptize the shore
         D            A     
Let the wind take me home via 
  E            A
Albuquerque low.

           Crack your windows
A Bm F#m D                 
............on sleepless summer 
      A Bm F#m D
nights
                 A Bm F#m D
You will hear me
                           Bm
on the passing ocean breeze, as it 
softly carries me

[Chorus]

D          A            D       
Before you go, promise you’ll

Let the wind take me home via
