I adore this song. I think that the chorus sounds better when it is played with
barre chords higher up the fretboard. Enjoy!
A
We got the last of the apples,
E
Rosy just from the weather,
DAC#
An orchard map spread out green and red.
A
A ten-cent yellow hat,
E
Rotten fruit kicked off the path.
DA
Our hands in our pockets
C#
And our pockets in our pants.
AE
Racing out ahead to be the reddest heart beat beating,
DAC#
Out on the scene busting blood through a young body.
A
A puddle with a jacket cap,
E
A picnic in a mountain pass,
DAC#
A taste of summer coming back:
F#
A summer swam by a foggy dam.
D#mBC#
A Poughkeepsie scam around a mountain bend.
F#D#m
The season changed, the best of us changed.
BC#
The rest of us stuck behind to keep the silver shined.
D, E, F#
A
A piano in a window bay
E
A straight back with a ribboned braid
DAC#
Blue Ridge brick in an almond shade
A
A chin on a worn-out wrist.
E
A magnet with a grocery list says:
DAC#
My, oh my, my toes get tired,
AEDAC#
But I dont let on, or let go?I sing along.
A, E, D, A, C#, F#, D#m, B, C#, F#, D#m, B, C#, D, E
A
Back home Ive got a couple friends
E
We drink together on the weekends
DAC#
We keep our nails trimmed and fingers tough.
A
I?ve got a felt hat collection,
E
A dresser drawer to put my pants in.
DAC#
What, oh, what more could a woman want?
A
I want an overhaul for my guitar,
E
A string endorsement and a shiney new car.
DAC#
Piles of fruit and a fully stocked bar.
A
Money for a flight out west,
E
Cute shoes and a vintage dress,
DAC#
Big, new houses for all my relatives.
F#D#m
I want to land in a tugging hand:
BC#
A youthful bed with a youthful plan.
F#D#m
I want to wait and take my time,
BC#
All my time, and keep my silver shined.
D, E, F#,
D, E, F#.
