So there's hundreds of auburn alabama acres
CDG
with rows of red roofs over warm farmers daughters
CDEm
who've got no intention of inviting me in
CDG
space shines all above me so i settle myself under it.
CDG
when i wake up i'm back in my crowded city apartment
CDG
some random men doing work off in the kitchen
CEmG
stacking mattresses up now to the ceiling and down to the floor.
CDG
my fathers sick in the hallway i hear him whistlin under the door.
CDG
i rush to lift him but you all know i am weak and you know that he is heavy.
CDG
there's no blood in his cheeks but he's smiling straight at me.
CDG
I ask the thickest of the workers "would you please come and help me out?"
CDG
he comes ambling over and says "sir, i love how your whistling sounds"
CD
so now i drag him through the kitchen to the living room and down on the
G
carpet
CDG
he says, "son i'm embarassed, but the sides of my head hurt.
CEmG
i just know that i'm tired and i could surely use some rest."
CDG
i tear a mattress down for him and i say, "here dad sleep some on this."
CG
i wake for real and it's over.
CC/BAmEmG
i'm alone in acres and my dad is still dead.
CDGD
but if you underneath one of those rooftops, look out your window and invite
Em
me on in.
CDEm
'cause it's cold and i'm lonely and i could sure use a friend
CDEm
yeah it's cold and i'm lonely and i could sure use a friend.
CDG
it's cold and i'm lonely and i could sure use a friend yeah
These are the basic chords. The intro posted is pretty close so you can work with that.
are lots of walking bass parts and such but I am far too lazy to figure out and tab all
that.
