When Things Unravel

      D5                       G5                       D5  G5  D5
Reverend Royal, Foggy eyes of California
         E5                                        G5                    D5  G5  D5
The sun sleeps in the ditches too lazy to burn it off
              E5                                 A5      E5                   D5
With a name like Smokey Bill Long, just lucky like Errol, 
                E5                     G5                                  D5  G5  D5
At the rodeo you spend most of your time in the dirt

    D5                             G5                          D5  G5  D5
Staring at the seesaw face of Cornelia Williams
    E5                                    G5                                        D5  G5  D5
Staring back at you with a look that says she?s gonna leave
   E5                    A5               E5                     D5
Out there on the flat land, trying to lasso the dog
                     E5                     G5                                              D5  G5  D5
With your bob and weave smiling at you with your yellow teeth
Chorus:
   E5                             G5                                   D5  G5  D5
When things unravel she?ll be there with the needle
   E5                                        G5                                          D5  G5  D5
It?s plain to see why there?s two kinds of laughter in the world
  E5                                   A5         E5                                     D5
I?ve heard of robbin? the cradle, never heard of robbin? the grave
  D5                                  G5                                     D5  G5  D5
Things will unravel my darlin? you can count the days

    D5                                    G5                D5  G5  D5
Trying to cross with the traffic light today
   E5                      G5                         D5  G5  D5
Fell in the gravel that?s all normal now
   E5               A5               G5                  D5 
Dressed in Amarillo to match your red eyes
    E5                              G5                   D5  G5  D5
A painful contrast the owner and the wife

Chorus
   E5                                        G5             D5  G5  D5
Everyone knows there?s no humor in suicide
   E5                                        G5                                             D5  G5  D5
Everyone laughs when they don?t know and wish you right by
   E5                                       G5              D5  G5  D5
Everyone knows there?s no humor in suicide
   E5                                       G5                                             D5  G5  D5
Everyone laughs when they don?t know and pass you right by
