Intro: A    G  D   A
(listen to the song to get the rhythm down)

A        G
I've got you
        D                              A
You've got whatever's left of me to get
A                             G
Our conversations are like minefields
D                                     A
No one's found a safe way through one yet
A                     G
I spend a lot of money
D                 A
I buy you white gold
A                       G
We raise up a little roof
D             E
Against the cold

                      A         E D
On Southwood Plantation Road
           A              E       D
Where at night the stars blow like milk across the sky
A                       E
Where the high wires drop
A                     D Dm
Where the fat crows fly

A    G D   A


A           G   D               A
All night long you giggle and scream
A          G    D              A
Your brown eyes deeper than a dream
A               G
I am not gonna lose you
D                 A
We are gonna stay married
          A                    G
In this house like a Louisiana graveyard
D                    E
Where nothing stays buried
               A           E D
On Southwood Plantation Road
A                     E   D
Where the dead will walk again
A                    E
Put on their Sunday best
A                         D
And go with unsuspecting Christian men
Dm
