C#5 E5
Been walking the dirt floor, my eyes are open Lord
A5 G#5
Where did you go, have we just left you bored?
C#5 E5
On down this unholy well we rolled
A5 G#5
Stirring barrels in hell to be warm
A5 E5
It's further back down than the high ground
B5 E5
Ain't milk and honey, we're movin' round
A5 E5
Only one thing is certain
B5
That's everybody
C#5 C#5
Everybody's hurting
C#5 E5
We come from the country where the rain follows plow
A5 G#5
And the evenings are cold enough to pluck your feathers out
C#5 E5 A5
We hear your engines roaring deep and loud
G#5
As we work the mules on this bludgeoned ground
A5 E5
We've hunted these hills dry
B5 E5
We've long outlasted the winter and our last wood pile
A5 E5
Only one thing is certain
B5
That's everybody
C#5
Everybody's hurting
A5 A5
Through rolling acres of boneyards we drift
E5 E5
Our spirits' been broken been splintered to bits
A5 A5
Faith is believing what you see ain't so
G#5 G#5
My sweetheart we've got to learn to live with these ghosts
G#5 G#5
They can't leave; we can't...
A5 E5 B5 E5
go...
A5 E5 B5 C#5
C#5 E5
We'd sell this valley if we could go north
A5 G#5
Where the sun sets dripping buckets of gold
C#5 E5
Through snow topped thunderheads and rows of wind clouds
A5 G#5
Coming down this mountain how sweet salvation sounds
A5 E5
With our hands out like lowly pilgrims
B5 E5
As the old men death salute the young ones in
A5 E5
Already know what we're just learning
B5
That's everybody
C#5 C#5
Everybody's hurting
