Tuning Down One Step (key of C)


Intro: D, G, A, G, D

D (xx0232@1)                            GIf (320003@1)I could have one wish right now
A (x02220@1)                                G (320003@1)       DI'd (xx0232@1)be about as half as tough as I pretend I am
D (xx0232@1)                                     GThen (320003@1)I wouldn't care how empty this old house feels
A (x02220@1)                                       G (320003@1)       DI (xx0232@1)could take her things and take them far away from here

I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name
Cause looking at that stone wouldn't bring me so much pain
I could go into town wearing my finest clothes
I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice cold

G (320003@1)          A (x02220@1)             Bm (x24432@1)           ASpace (x02220@1)City's one hour up the road from me
G (320003@1)      A (x02220@1)                       Bm (x24432@1)                 
                 GOne (320003@1)hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be
              A (x02220@1)                   Bm (x24432@1)              A (x02220@1)     
      GAnd (320003@1)somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone
                    A (x02220@1)                     DAnd (xx0232@1)somewhere she's wondering what's taking me so long

My hands are as good to me as they've ever been
And I ain't ashamed of anything my hands ever did
But sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist
She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child I guess
