Widows Grove

        A        C#m     F#m     
I met you in the saddle, rode you
        C#m
 in the dust
        F#m           C#m    
Held your hand to the heavens, 
              G            E
pulled your heart to the earth
          A              C#m      
There was something that blinded 
  F#m           C#m
me more than the mist
        F#m           C#m        
And the breath of the cottonwood 
D
buds lighter yet

    F#m                     C#m
And you rode the maypole of dance 
hall legs
    F#m                     C#m
And galloped to another's embrace
    D                      G#m
And I bit the flowers from your 
           A
wrist corsage
    Bm              F#m         
And you waltzed too slowly, too 
Bm        F#m
slowly you waltzed
          G                      E
With that girl from Widow's Grove

Oh, I'd follow you to the river,
E      A     E          A     E
 that washes out to the s……ea
            A                  Bm 
Through the wind, through the rain
      G#m       A
 of a cold dark night
        Bm    E    A
That's where I'll be

Near the breath of a swallow, petals
 dropped as you fell
And you grabbed then shyly held me, 
against the stone cold well
In your hand was a glass, you held 
the ice against the night
And it dripped and it sparkled and I
 laughed a wish

Before it all slipped down the dark 
tunneled well
I heard it melt quietly and I looked
 at you
Bent to the earth with just one 
pleading wish
Your skirts brushed to the furious 
pounding

Oh, I'd follow you to the river, 
that washes out to the sea
Through the wind, through the rain 
of a cold dark night
That's where I'll be

                A              
I hid in the elm and raised the 
         C#m                     F#m
bough, that hung even with your
C#m
neck
        F#m                      
And I chased you and drowned you, 
       C#m                     G  
there deep in the well
             E

                A               
And when your mouth was full and 
        C#m                     F#m
wet, I swallowed all your
C#m
reckless fate

        F#m                   
And with your last breath, you 
  C#m                     G       
moaned too drunk to wake
                E


Oh, I'd follow you to the river, 
that washes out to the sea
Through the wind, through the rain 
of a cold dark night
That's where I'll be
Through the wind, through the rain 
of a cold dark night
That's where I'll be
