The Steel Woods

Whatever It Means To You

The Steel Woods


Tom: Bm

  Em

[Verse 1]
 Em
Snakeskin hangin' from a willow tree
   Em
All the birds flyin' out to sea
     A
The sky's the furthest thing from blue
Em
And all that means is whatever it means to you

[Verse 2]
  Em
A horse shoe hangin' on your front door
  Em
You break a mirror and you're seven years poor
   A
If you cross your i's and you dot your t's
  Em
All that means is whatever it means to me

[Chorus]
 A                           E          A                   E
When you pack that pack of cigarettes, turn the first one around
     A              E                G           F#        E
And if you see Abraham Lincoln, you pick him up off the ground
 A                               E           A                 E
You got a rabbit foot in your pocket and a cross on your rear view
D           A                             E
And all it means is whatever it means to you

E

[Verse 3]
  Em
If the sun shines on a rainy day
   Em
You hold your breath when you pass a grave
       A
And if knock-on-wood is all you can do
   Em
All that means is whatever it means to you

[Chorus]
 A                           E          A                   E
When you pack that pack of cigarettes, turn the first one around
     A              E                G           F#        E
And if you see Abraham Lincoln, you pick him up off the ground
 A                               E           A                 E
You got a rabbit foot in your pocket and a cross on your rear view
D           A                             E
And all it means is whatever it means to you

[Solo]

[Verse 4]
 Em
The stories told in all these songs
 Em
Don't sound the same to everyone
  A
Some you hear, some you see
   Em
And all that means is whatever it means to me
    A
Not all are real, but all are true
 Em
'Cause all they mean is whatever they mean to you

[Chorus]
 A                           E          A                   E
When you pack that pack of cigarettes, turn the first one around
     A              E                G           F#        E
And if you see Abraham Lincoln, you pick him up off the ground
 A                               E           A                 E
You got a rabbit foot in your pocket and a cross on your rear view
D           A                             E
And all it means is whatever it means to you
D            A                              E
Well all that means is whatever it means to you

E

[Outro]
Em
Snake skin hangin' from a willow tree
Em
And all the birds flyin' out to sea
