[Verse 1]
 
G        D      Cadd9
Darkness on the fenceposts
                     G
And a whistle from a train
G     D      Cadd9
Water in the corn rows
                    G
And a window to the rain
           G     D        Cadd9
Count your miles from the lightning
               G
Lay your money down
           G         D           Cadd9
Count your blessings against the thunder
                            G
Take the thorns out of your crown
 
G D Cadd9 G x2

[Verse 2]
 
          G       D       Cadd9
Well it's no more highway rolling
                G
No more sundown ride
G    D      Cadd9
No more Carolina
              G
No more great divide
    G        D         Cadd9
The words to keep from dying
                      G
There ain't a man can find
        G        D       Cadd9
But the words to keep on living
                   G
Is what you left behind

[Verse 3]
 
G        D       Cadd9
Songs on painted shadows
                G
Bleed on broken roads
G          D       Cadd9
Paved from here to heaven
                  G
With anything but gold
    G       D    Cadd9
And anything but simple
                   G
It always was your kind
         G            D      Cadd9
From the straight and narrow running
                      G
Along the straightest line
 
 
G D Cadd9 G x2

[Verse 4]
         G        D      Cadd9
And it’s darkness on the fenceposts
                     G
And a whistle from a train
G     D      Cadd9
Water in the corn rows
                    G
And a window to the rain
           G     D        Cadd9
Count your miles from the lightning
                        G
And you rest your tired eyes
           G         D           Cadd9
Count your blessings against the thunder
                   G
Kiss the years goodbye
