Slate

[A7Sus4]  [D]  [Aadd4]  [G]

[A7Sus4]A worn out joke to keep the [D]flies away

[Aadd4]Carried it this [G]far

Got the [A7Sus4]westside winds keep it st[D]eady

[Aadd4]Bury the hatchets we [G]find

[A7Sus4]Could carry that heavy [D]load

[Aadd4]If I really thought it would [G]matter

[E7]Farcical hair ap[Aadd4]pears

[E7]As a blind side

[A7Sus4]Clean the [D]slate

[A7Sus4]Working in the halls of [D]shame

Lay it [G]down in full view

Lay it [Em7]down

What the hell were we thinking
Before the fire burned out
Can't find you now
Didn't know you then
Loneliness drinks the bitters
Till the cold wind's warm again
To feel born again
Mouth open wide, screams and hollers

Gambled once and won, never made a dollar
Beauty fades to gray
I pray the very best will guard her
And provide a way
There's a telltale sign
And it's chairs up, time to go

a neat way to tie the "A" chords to the G and D are to slide the "E"
note fretted on the second string up to the fourth fret, and then pull
it off.
