Intro: [G - Em - Am - D]x2


Verse 1 chords:
G                 Em   Am
  It's New Year's Eve
                 D
and California's gonna kill you soon
G              Em     Am
   The Barstow boys
                D
buckeyes in the shadow of the moon


Verse 2 chords:
G       Em                               Am                          
  Black houses in the hill and roadside hearts
            D
Dying for a place to fall apart
G     Em                                     Am
  Who knew what you could learn to live without
              D
Mother Mary's lying in your mouth


Chorus 1 chords:
Bm     Em                                     Am
  Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine
                   D
and every girl has got an axe to grind
Bm    Em
  You left to look for heaven
           Am            D
But you're far from that hard light tonight


Interlude: [G - Em - Am - D]x2


Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
So quietly we've lost another year
the desert put a babbler in your ear
mean firewood and I miss you again
Barstow boys are spit into the wind


Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords]
Back home the hammer always has to fall
crosses barely hanging on the wall
Someday I know you'll never leave me
But we're far from that hard light tonight

END
