When Things Unravel

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

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

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

Chorus
   Em                                        G             D  G  D
Everyone knows there?s no humor in suicide
   Em                                        G                                             D  G  D
Everyone laughs when they don?t know and wish you right by
   Em                                       G              D  G  D
Everyone knows there?s no humor in suicide
   Em                                       G                                             D  G  D
Everyone laughs when they don?t know and pass you right by
