Am   Em  C  Am

[Verse 1]
              Am  G             F
Your heart is dark as a hemlock grove
                    C                  G
Where the sun never shines and nothing grows
              Dm                     F
Black as each feather in a murder of crows
              Am  G             F        Am  Em  Am
Your heart is dark as a hemlock grove


[Verse 2]
              Am       G                   F
Your heart is empty as winter in a tourist town
                C                     G
The boardwalk deserted, all shuttered down
                   Dm         F
And every bird has flown southbound
              Am       G                   F       Am  Em  Am
Your heart is empty as winter in a tourist town


[Bridge]
                F                C
There is no resolution, try as I might
           F               G                 Am
I shun the darkness, but I shy away from the light
                 F             C
There's a hole inside I try to fill
        F            G     E7
But you dig it deeper still___


[Verse 3]
            Am             G                    F
Our love is crooked as the teeth in an old man's smile
                     C                       G
As the stones in the graveyard, as a country mile
                            Dm                       F
But I'll drive all night to get there, if you let me stay awhile
            Am             G                    F  
Our love is crooked as the teeth in an old man's smile


[Verse 4]
              Am       G                   Dm7
Your heart is empty as winter in a tourist town
          F       E             Am       Em  Am
Your heart is dark as a hemlock grove
