Murmuring State

Dm7                        Am
Autumn on the Maine coast, Mary-Ann 
was closing windows
C                                 
Talking to herself yeah she lived 
Em
alone
Dm7                            Am
Looking at her fields now, she steps
 outside of the farmhouse
C                                 
Every year a little less eager to 
Em
grow
                  Dm7           
Those fields were born on a wild 
 G
soul,
        Am
still a fraction of a balanced whole
          D                        
Oh but control belonged in the 
                F
hands of the oilmen now

[Chorus]
             Am                  G
Oh there's a trouble comin' in,
     D

            F          Am        
it's got my heart in a murmuring 
G
state
             Am             C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
             F       Am       G  
That I'll be here to watch it 
               Am
fade, to watch it fade
  G       F
Oooo oooo ooooh

Dm7                        
They were dancing in Havana, 
  Am
celebrating quinceñera
C                          Em
Speaking softly by the radio
Dm7                               
Some believed that they could wait
         Am
 it out, others felt only a growing 
doubt
    C                         Em
But few perceived the October storm
                    Dm7          
Outside there was a rustle in the 
            G
oak leaves
            Am
There was a frost that was starting 
to heave
          D                        
So many more at home, singing their
         F
 kids to sleep

[Repeat Chorus]

Dm7                          Am
Jefferey built a gravestone,    for 
the summer when he made known
C                                Em
Money it was gonna get tight for him
Dm7                           Am
It was harder than he lot on, but 
you could say that he'd been betting
 on
    C                         Em
The lesser horse, time and again
            Dm7                    
Still he remembered when his kid 
  G
was born
      Am
He remembered how the air was warm
    D                            
But most of all, he thought about 
             F
the task at hand

             Am                  G
Oh there's a trouble comin' in,
     D

            F          Am        
it's got my heart in a murmuring 
G
state
             Am             C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
             F       Am       G
That I'll be here to watch it fade, 
oh
Am                   G           
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a
           F
 murmuring state
Am                   G           
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a
           F
 murmuring state
Am                   G           
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a
           Am
 murmuring state
  G       F
Oooo oooo ooooh
