CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C F
C
Our house has fallen
F
But the clothesline still stands
C
The ghost of your dress
GF
Got hung out again
C
Maybe I'm a ghost too
F
That couldn't leave town
CG
Me and this clothesline
F
We still hang around
CHORUS:
CF
And now I'm so dry
C
As everything passes by
EmAm7
But I won't leave on the wind
GCF
I'll stay in the sun and fade on the line
N.C. C
They say everything changes
F
But the grave's always been here
C
From under the covers
GF
That turned everywhere
C
If I knew then
F
Oh, what I know now
CG
I'd-a carried your colours
F
Far away from this town
CHORUS:
CF
And now I'm, I'm so dry
C
As everything passes by
EmAm7
But I won't leave on the wind
GCFAm7
I'll stay in the sun and fade on the line
BRIDGE:
F
If you were here right now
CAm7
You'd find a way to help me down
F
If you were here right now
Dm7F
You'd pull me down to the ground
N.C. C
I wish I could visit
F
A graveyard for noise
C
The sound of the trains
GF
And girls chasing boys
C
I'd walk by each headstone
F
And leave flowers beside
CG
I'd wanna (bring) Sookie
F
Her sweet voice here lies
CHORUS:
CF
And now I'm, I'm so dry
C
As everything passes by
EmAm7
But I won't leave on the wind
GCF
I'll stay in the sun and fade on the line
CHORUS:
CF
And now I'm, I'm so dry
C
As everything passes by
EmAm7
But I won't leave on the wind

I'll stay in the sun and fade on the line
