Tom: Dm
Em A C Em
[Verse 1]
Em A
The handing down, the handing down
C Em
Maybe the truth will not be shown
Em A C
And the dark will just roll on and on, roll
[Verse 2]
Em A
O three rivers where's that star you once
C Em
Held above my faded dreams
Em A
Heart worn more than some I guess
C Em
But I'm still holding at the seams
A C Em
Still holding at the seams
[Verse 3]
Em A
Scarecrow holds an hourglass
C Em
Above the cross roads for me
Em A
Filled with tears and twilight
C Em
From a friend's dying day
Em A
Here's a turkey feather for his favourite hat
C Em
And a love letter from the ace of spades
A C Em
A love letter from the ace of spades
[Solo]
Em A C Em
Em A
[Verse 4]
Em A
An anchor in the crown
C Em
Of Queen Anne's lace and chicory
Em A
A charm, a charm to drive away
C Em
All the heartaches I gave
Em A
All the goodbyes and the 'I love you's'
C Em
I said but not in time
Em A
But mine is the heart of lonesome pine
C
And the choices weren't always mine
C
The choices weren't always mine
