Eliza Gilkyson - Death In Arkansas
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: F C F
I remember how the wood would smell
C
Just as the last great tree was felled
Like many that came before
It was used for a table and a door
F C F
A palette and a long hall rack
C
Where hung my great grandfather's hat
A stable and a barn, a bed and a seat
A roof and fence and a floor that creaked
And a coffin leaning against the wall
F C F C
When there was a death in Arkansas
F
I liked the wagons and the wheels
C
The wind that knocked us down in the fields
And the girls with the southern drawl
And those that came before were the pictures on the wall
And the lone dogs howled and the crows would caw
F
When there was a death in Arkansas
Bb
We were laid to rest under the sun
F
And we breathed our last and it was done
C
And the air redeemed us and we would learn
That a life was hallowed and we wouldn't burn
F
Hands folded gently to say goodbye
C
It was just this place underneath the sky
Can you see our bones hiding like a toad
In the old red dirt that is now a road
Beneath the sign that blinks off-on
And a shopping mall where the house is gone
Forgetting that a soul may call
F
When there is a death in Arkansas
INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C F C F
Bb
And a quilten patch of new concrete
F
Helps the trucks roll down the street
C
There's a Dollar Store by the setting sun
And a sign on the church says, 'His Will is Done'
I can't see the birds or find the fields
That hold my bones beneath the wheels
And a mother worries that her son won't call
And a TV stares at the breaking wall
But the lone dogs howl and the crows still call
F
When there is a death in Arkansas
