Standard Tuning

Intro: G5


Verse 1 chords:
G5
Portable television, shrouded in snow
     A5                 C5
In a raggedy van on the side of the road
    G5
The night it had frozen through my little bones
       A5                        C5
So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold


Chorus 1 chords:
G5                       A5          C5
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
G5                       A5          C5         G5
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h


Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me
And where we were going it was built like a lie
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why


Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h


Bridge:
  C5                 G5
I saw it in the soil just recently
          A5                                   G5
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields of infinite greed
    C5                       G5
And here laid the father, and here stood the son
          A5                         G5             C5
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone, for everyone


Verse 3: use verse 1 chords
Portable television, take us away
From this burden of reflection we've carried today
Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air
And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare


Chorus 3: use chorus 1 chords
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
