Gates of the Country - Black Lab -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Standard Tuning e,B,G,D,A,e Don't know if this is actually how it's played but it sounds great... Verse-1 Em C Em G April. back in new york. the 31st floor. it seems somehow DEC Em everything's changed. the kitchen too small. plates on the wall. G D the sound of machinery. Em G Am May. where have you been? who were you running with? wasn't he CEG Am someone you used to call home? where is the ring? where is the boy C who went traveling alone? CHORUS: GDC G she... is much better without me. she walks through the gates of the DCG D country. hands at her sides. and i smile as i watch her walk by. (in the air)-2nd CHORUS C G D somehow i see there are ships in her eyes. oh she... is much better C off now. ------------------------------------------------- (in the air) replaces (at her sides) on the second chorus The second verse is played the same just with different lyrics... Verse-2 June. the curtain is shut. the patterns are cut. the maid who will wake you at dawn. pulls out a chair. pulls down your hair. it's just like you wanted. July. what's going on. what are you running from. why are you sleeping alone on the floor. some people change. others hang on till they can't anymore. That's all.
