Canola Fields

INTRO:
Em D C

VERSE:
       C                         
I was thinkin' 'bout you crossin' 
  G
Southern Alberta
 C                  D
Canola fields on a July day
           C                     
'Bout the same chartreuse as that 
  G          G
sixty-nine Bug
             Em           D    C
You used to drive around San Jose


VERSE:
       C                     
Never knew where my old white 
  G
Lincoln might take you
 C                    D
Party on wheels with suicide doors
           C                       
Bring the kids and the dogs and 
   G       D
your grandma too
    Em         D        C
We always had room for more


VERSE:
           C                     
'Til that white knuckle ride back 
       G
from Santa Cruz
 C                         D
Second best surfer on the central 
coast
         C                      G 
Had you wrapped up all the way 
          D
back to Los Gatos
    Em         D       C
And I couldda cut his throat


VERSE:
       C                      G
And I wasn't like we were an item to
 start with
    D               Em
It had no basis in fact
         C                      
But the whiskey could push me to 
  G
sudden extremes
                           D
I don't wanna think about that
               C           G   G
I don't wanna think about that


CHORUS:
C         Em     D  D
 Take my hand Marie
C        G             D         
 Take a death grip on some part of 
  C
me

 C            G        D         Em
Keep me from driftin' far out to sea
            Em   D   C   C
Or I'll be lost out there

INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE:
        C                      G
We all filtered away with the days 
gettin' shorter
 C                        D
Seekin' our place in the greater 
scheme
 C                      G
Kids and careers and a vague sense 
of order
 Em       D           C
Bustin' apart at the seams


VERSE:
   C                               
I heard you switched coasts, moved 
G
in with your sister
   C                         D
I doubt she'd'a called it familial 
bliss
    C                    G
We met up in Brooklyn before it went
 hipster
     Em           D            C
You carried your keys in your fist


VERSE:
       C                  
Then away back corner of a 
  G
cross-town bus
         D                  Em
We were hidin' out under my hat
 C               G
Cashin' in on a thirty year crush

                           D
You can't be young and do that
              C            G   G
You can't be young and do that


CHORUS:
C         Em     D  D
 Take my hand Marie
C        G             D         
 Take a death grip on some part of 
  C
me

 C            G        D         Em
Keep me from driftin' far out to sea
            Em   D   C   C
Or I'll be lost out there
            Em   D   C   C
Or I'll be lost out there

 C                D
Canola fields at harvest time look 
like
 C                    G
Tumbleweeds all raked up into rows
     Em          D       C   C
And brown rusty contour lines


VERSE:
             C                     
And there's not much movin' on the 
 G
romance radar
 C                       D
Not that I'm cravin' it all that 
much
       C                        G
But I still need to feel every once 
in a while
     Em          D           C   C
The warmth of a smile and a touch


VERSE:
       C                  
Then away back corner of a 
  G
cross-town bus
         D                  Em

 C               G
Cashin' in on a thirty year crush
                           D
You can't be young and do that
              C            G   G
You can't be young and do this

     G                     D
You can't be young and do that

You can't be young and do this

me

 C            G        D         Em
Keep me from driftin' far out to sea
            Em   D   C   C
Or I'll be lost out there
            Em   D   C   C
Or I'll be lost out there

         Em   D   C
I'll be lost out there
