Heirloom

    C            G             C
She buried me in powder in the rain
    C            F                
She buried me in sapphire, wicked 
C
pain
          C          G         Em
after she carried me away to a 
           F
place I had ashamed
          C                        
after she put out my lit cigarette 
       G
on her boot

  C             G            C
A woman makes a boy out of a man
        C                    F 
When he thought he knew just how 
                C
he’d play his hand
              C             G     
Who’s barking orders at the rook, 
         Em              F
make him pay for time he took
          C                      
after she back stacked every king 
                  G
that’s what she do


[Chorus]

    C        Em
And you, heirloom,
         F            C
had your room painted blue

        F                 C       
and you showed me how the crow 
             G
flies from your heart
    C       Em
And I don’t mind
        F         C
I’ll do what I’ll do
      F                C          
But I won’t cry when I leave this 
    G
town


[Verse]

    C            G             
She buried me in progress on the 
     C
range
    C                   F         
She bulls-eyed from the hip as if 
      C
she’d aimed
          C           G       
After she heard of my complaint 
          Em                 F
about a place where I felt safe
           C                       
And how it changes, with the energy
         G
 I knew

     C                G            
This world has made a boy out of a 
C
man
     C                  F     
Oh I thought I knew but I don’t 
       C
understand
               C               
Who breaks the ranks to which I 
 G               Em          F
took, makes the rules I overlook?
            C                      
Just when I thought I knew a 
               G
thought of something true


[Chorus]

    C        Em
And you, heirloom,
         F            C
had your room painted blue
        F                 C       
and you showed me how the crow 
             G
flies from your heart
    C       Em
And I don’t mind
        F         C
I’ll do what I’ll do
      F                C          
But I won’t cry when I leave this 
    G
town
