Vermillion

   Dm    C        F           G              Bb
It don't get much worse, than winter South Dakota
Dm               F                  A
  My pa was as drunk as a bar room rag
  Dm      C        F            G                      Bb
I saw him one more time, in the warmth of a begger's refuge
Dm               A          Dm
Still sailing on his, dirty raft.


[Verse 2]

Dm C   F      G               Bb
Mama's tears, tasted like sea water
Dm             F                   A
I cried on her shoulders while she sleep
Dm  C   F             G         Bb
She got cold, she got idle as a picture
Dm                  A            Dm
She died with the flowers in the fall.

[Verse 3]

    Dm   C    F      G      Bb
The graveyard cold,  late November
Dm             F            A
My brother Cody, he come to help
Dm   C     F              G                  Bb
Cody never cried, he went riding with Hell's Angels
Dm                   A            Dm
At least he's, found his family there.


[Verse 4]

Dm  C      F           G                   Bb
Me, I left town, and I took no more than a picture
Dm                    F                 A
and a coat of my mama's to keep me warm.
        Dm   C     F           G               Bb
I ain't ever going back, to Vermillion South Dakota
Dm         A          Dm
I never could return.

My pa was as drunk, as a bar room rag.
