[Verse]
C/A# F
Makeshift moon mends a broken sky
C C/G C C/G
Fields of fallow still stands dry
Dm F C C/G C C/G
Night not gentle, soon fortnight
Her mistake was to trust in him
His bodily excuse again
Hear the voices howl like the wind
[Chorus]
Am G/B C C/G C C/G
Said I'm tired of you coming home late
Dm F C C/G C C/G
I will do as I please, Kate
There's no one gon' tell me how to be
Not for my sake, Tom, for the family
[Repeat intro]
[Verse]
He read the guilt when she plead love
Got anxious and began to shove
Clouds moved in, kept the moon above
Curses raised the kids from bed
They fell down the stairs in time to see
The blood run warm down Kate's head
[Chorus]
While the wounds, in silence, came to scar
Tom kept hittin' in a jukejoint bar
All the love vanished in the air
Filled with paper flowers and the angels' share
[Coda]
