Broken Window Serenade by Whiskey Myers

Transcribed by DWdrummer67. You can use either an Em or an Em7 on this one. I use 
Em just because I prefer the sound of that chord.

Tuning: Standard

Intro: Cadd9, Em (2x)

Cadd9 (x32030@1)   
A couple of pretty flowers, that's what I brought I to you
             EmI (022000@1)saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view
        Cadd9 (x32030@1)                               
You had signs of depression, from a long line of sin
          Em (022000@1)                                                         Cadd9And (x32030@1)your face tells a story, 'bout the places you have been, I love you so
                      EmI (022000@1)thought you should know

Cadd9
And that muddy waters flowin', and as you take my hand
          EmPast (022000@1)the creek down by the holler, through your daddy's land
           Cadd9And (x32030@1)I could buy you a diamond, but I cannot change your world
    Em (022000@1)                                           Cadd9'Cuz (x32030@1)I ain't got no money, you'll never be my girl  no
                      EmI (022000@1)thought you should know

Break: Cadd9, Em

Cadd9
You was gonna be a singer, and a big movie star
         EmBut (022000@1)you can't catch no breaks baby, and Hollywood is hard
        Cadd9Now (x32030@1)you work down at the Time Out, off of 155                       
             Em (022000@1)                                                       Cadd9And (x32030@1)you're dancing for your dollar, just tryin' to stay alive, it hurts me so
                      EmI (022000@1)thought you should know

Cadd9
And You feed your addiction, with your crystal meth
       EmAnd (022000@1)I plea for your life, as it takes you to your death
              Cadd9You (x32030@1)make your deal with the devil, as your looks begin to fade 
            Em (022000@1)                                                             
   Cadd9
I saw you laughin' through the tears, as you slowly slipped away, I watched you go
                      Em (022000@1)                  Cadd9 (x32030@1)                     EmI (022000@1)thought you should know  yeah I watched you go  I thought you should know

Break: Cadd9, Em, Cadd9, Em

Cadd9
And that cold rain is pourin', as they lower you in a grave
        EmI (022000@1)can barely recognize you, in your fragile state
        Cadd9No (x32030@1)more signs of depression, from a long time ago
        Em (022000@1)                                                     Cadd9I (x32030@1)throw in a pretty flower, as they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
                      Em (022000@1)               Cadd9 (x32030@1)                      EmI (022000@1)thought you should know  there it was a rose  I thought you should know
