D5           B5
They called here to tell me
D5           B5
That you?re finally dying
D5      B5                A5     G5
Thru a veil of childish cries
Southern Manitoba
Prairies pulling at the
Pant-leg of your bad disguise

G5
So why were you so 

D5   A5 G5  
Anchorless
D5        A5       G5
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
The small town that you lived and died in

D5 B5 A5 B5

Shoebox full of photos
Found a grainy mirror
Sunken cheeks and slender hands
Grocery lists and carbon
Copied letters offer
Silence for my small demands

Hey how?d you get so

Anchorless
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
The small town that you lived and died in

D5                         A5            G5
Got an armchair from your family home
Got your p.g. wodehouse novels and your telephone
Got your plates and stainless steel
Got that way of never saying what you really feel

Anchorless
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
The small town that you lived and died in

D5 C#5 B5 A5 G5
Don?t want to live and die here
Don?t want to live and die here were we?re

Anchorless
Anchorless
Anchorless
The small towns that we live and die in
D5 B5 A5 G5 (until fade out)
