Fences

G  C/B  C  Am  D2  D  D2  G

[Verse 1]

D2            D         C             G
A single town county, a hundred horse town
D2        D           C               D
The rodeo rides away, then comes back around
G               C/B            C      G
The fiddler was shorted tho he played Cherokee
         C                          D
That’s a warning for to a white boy like me

[Chorus]

G         C/B     C
All I see now are fences
    Am
The cards turn a profit
          D          G
But their people are gone
G                      C/B
These old holes in the highway
       C         A
Are so brutal on bones
    D                    D2
You don’t dance with who brought you
       D             G
It’s a lonesome walk home

[Verse 2]

D2             D                   C         G
Can I catch a ride sir, if you’re goin’ this way
D2                  D       C           D
I forgot what would all the Protestants say
G                     C/B                C        G
She was there for the takin’, there were promises made
    C                                        D
The small pox and whiskey, were a mighty bad trade

[Chorus]

G         C/B     C
All I see now are fences
    Am
The cards turn a profit
          D          G
But their people are gone
G                      C/B
These old holes in the highway
       C         A
Are so brutal on bones
    D                    D2
You don’t dance with who brought you
       D             G
It’s a lonesome walk home

[Instrumental]

G  C/B  Am  D2  D  D2  G (x2)

[Bridge]

D                          C        G
The tables are turned into dried up remains
C                                              D
Since the storm from the east, blew across the Plains

[Chorus]

G         C/B     C
All I see now are fences
    Am
The casinos turn the profit
          D          G
But their people are gone
G                      C/B
These old holes in the highway
       C         A
Are so brutal on bones
    D                    D2
You don’t dance with who brought you
       D             G
It’s a lonesome walk home
    D                    D2
You don’t dance with who brought you
       D             G
It’s a lonesome walk home
