Am C   F  C   G  C    Am
In the Winter of your youth
Am   C F      C     G     Dm   C
With a string tied 'round your tooth
     Dm                 G
Your mother slammed the door
      G               Am
Don't want to hear no more

[Verse 2]
Am   C   F  C   G  C    Am
From the corner of your mouth
Am C   F     C    G    Dm   C
As the truth came wandering out
    Dm                   G
You longed for something else
          G             Am
Than your life upon the shelf

[Chorus]
F                          C              Am
Out upon the open road you learned to say goodbye
       G             E
Such a lovely day to die
    F                                C                Am
And all these things I have seen within your two blue eyes

[Verse 3]
Am C   F C     G  C    Am
In the silence of this town
Am C   F     C    G     Dm  C
As the truth came wandering out
     Dm                 G
Your neighbor slams his door
      G               Am
Don't want to hear no more

[Chorus]
F                          C              Am
Out upon the open road you learned to say goodbye
       G             E
Such a lovely day to die
    F                                C                Am
And all these things I have seen within your two blue eyes
