Dead Melodies
Tab By: Jeff Heim

C                    G6
where will you go
         Dm6        Am A
when this day is over
   Dm          G
a gambler's purse
C               G    G7
lays on the road
Am
straight to your door
D                                     G
snakes have gone crazy tonight
Gm               Dm           G
winding their way out of sight

C              G6
a laugh, a joke
    Dm6       Am  A
a sentiment wasted
Dm           G
seasons of strangers
C                         G   G7
they've come and gone
Am
doldrums are pounding,
D                                          G
cheapskates are clowning this town
Gm               Dm                   G
who could disown themselves now
C     G6    Dm6              Am  A

engineer, slow down this old train
Dm            G
cinders and chaff
C                 G     G7
laugh at the moon
Am
night birds will cackle
D                              G
rotting like apples on trees
Gm               Dm         G               D6
sending their dead melodies... to me
