VERSE
Dm(5th)
All along the Maine coast 
   Fadd9
Maryanne was closing windows, 
C                                       Am
talking to herself yeah she lived alone. 
Dm(5th)
Looking on her fields now, 
                Fadd9
from the steps outside of her farmhouse, 
C                                       Am
every year a little less eager to grow. 
                   F               G
Those fields were born of a wild soul 
            Am                  Fadd9
still a fraction of a balanced whole 
           Am
oh but control belonged in 
                          F
the hands of the oil men now. 

CHORUS 
             Am           G/Am      F#/Am                      
Oh there's a trouble comin' in 
              F          Am             G
It's got my heart in a murmuring state. 
             Am       G/Am     F#/Am
Where must i fix my eyes to know 
F               Am       G      
that I'll be here to watch it fade? 
                  Am
To watch it fade
    C    G     F
Whoooo oo ooo

VERSE
They were dancing in Havana 
celebrating quinceañera 
speaking softly 'bout the radio. 
Some believed that they could wait it out, 
others felt only a growing doubt, 
but few perceived the October storm. 
Outside there was a rustle in the oak leaves, 
there was a frost that was starting to heave, 
so many more at home 
singing their kids to sleep. 
CHORUS
Oh there's a trouble comin' in 
It's got my heart in a murmuring state. 
Where must I fix my eyes to know 
that I'll be here to watch it fade? 
To watch it fade
Whoo ooo oo
To watch it fade
Whoo oooo ooo

VERSE
Jeffrey built a grave stone 
for the summer when it made known 
that money was gonna get tight for him. 
It was harder than he let on, 
but you could say that he'd been betting on 
a lesser horse time and again. 
Still he remembered when his kid was born, 
he remembered how the air was warm, 
but most of all, he thought about the task at hand. 
CHORUS
Oh there's a trouble comin' in 
It's got my heart in a murmuring state. 
Where must I fix my eyes to know 
that I'll be here to watch it fade? 

OUTRO
Am            G/Am
Trouble coming in, 
     F#/Am          F       Am
my heart's in a murmuring state
Am            G/Am
Trouble coming in 
  F#/Am          F         Am
my hearts in a murmuring state
Am           G/Am     F#/Am        F          Am
Trouble coming in my hearts in a murmuring state
C          G      F        Am
Whoo oo oooo
C          G        F 
Whoo oo oooo
