Verse: 
G 
Whats the matter here? 
D/F# 
You'll never repair 
Em                      C 
The lady's cursed with insight 
G 
You?ll never fix her 
D/F# 
with a cold stare 
Em                  C 
She's all broken inside 
 
G 
She made a good go 
D/F# 
like a weeping willow 
Em                      C 
Her limbs clung to the ground 
G 
She closed the window 
D/F# 
and made a pillow 
Em                 C 
And lay her head down 
 
Am                        Bm                   C 
And as her babies slept she took a long deep breath 
 
G                       D       Cmaj7 
Now they're zipping her up in a bag 
G                       D       Cmaj7  
Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag? 
Em                    D         Cmaj7 
And the Cadillac's waiting to take her away 
G                          D            C  
Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

Another head cold 
D/F# 
another spirit old 
Em           C 
Mmmm, February

Her hair was dirty

Am                      Bm                      C

She made a pillow  
Em              C 
on the oven door 
 
Am                     Bm
