Quiet Desperation

(intro) D G D G

        D              G   D      
    My soul is in the mountain, my
 Em
 heart is in the land,
         G                A  
    I'm lost here in the city, 
              D
there's so much I don't understand.
             D          G  D     
    There's quiet desperation    
Em                     G      A  
      coming over me, coming over 
  D
me.

             A              G
I've got to leave I can't stay 
           D
another day,
            A          G          
there's an emptiness        inside
    D
 of me.
         A        G           
I can't bear the loneliness out 
   D   A
here,
Continues after the ad
                 A7               
there's another place I've got to 
G
be,
                          D
another place I've got to be.

       D               G  D  
    I long for you, Dakota, the 
              Em
smell of sweet grass on the plain,
       G             A          
    I see too much meanness and I 
   D
feel too much pain.
             D          G  D     
    There's quiet desperation    
Em                     G      A  
      coming over me, coming over 
  D
me.

             A              G
I've got to leave I can't stay 
           D
another day,
            A          G          
there's an emptiness        inside
    D
 of me.
         A        G           
I can't bear the loneliness out 
   D   A
here,
                 A7               
there's another place I've got to 
G
be,
                          D
another place I've got to be.
