Rural Box A

Intro C G Em D   4X
C                              G
Silence stole this house long ago
Em                            D
Little sister you can never leave
C                                   G
Is that you ribbons rolling with the leaves
Em                      D
Carried high on a southern breeze
C                                G
I'm standing up and I'm holding 'fraid
Em                 D
Carrying the blame
C                          G
And mother she don't talk to me
Em                           D
And dad always works so far away
C                                      G
But we're all together hanging on the wall
Em                      D
Full of life in a crooked frame
C                                    G
It's hard to call this place really a home
Em                                      D
It's just somewhere that I've got to get away


Chorus 2X  (tempo shifts into 2nd  gear during chorus)
              G                     D
And I'm gonna roll, gonna gear up again
             C                          G
I'm gonna roll down the windows, drive hard
                D
and let those years blow back in

C                                           G
I'm gonna lock these doors for the last time
Em                                      D
Let the water drip down the kitchen drain
C                                    G
I'm gonna drive away and throw out the keys
Em                              D
Heading east through the drizzling rain

Chorus
