Bye Bye Palenville

G                D
Hey winter bird, hey baby
                        Am Bm C
ain't you heard you can fly
C
so why do you stay?

Well I guess I know how that feels, when the
Devil is at your heels and boy
the worm in your brain
got you lying awake

But I could never understand,
how a living breathing man
could run away and
leave his kids in the cold

You can aim your blows at me
you can pray the rosary, but in the end
we meet our maker alone

    D
And daddy said
G       Em
bye bye Palenville
C
bye bye Palenville
G
Jesus don't we fall to pieces,
    Em
the country night's so god damn still,
C
bye bye Palenville
