Intro: F (hammer-on 2nd fret G String)
       C (hammer-on 2nd fret D string)

F               C
My mama laid me on a blanket,
Am                   G
wiped the dust right off my face.
F                  C
Asked the nurse is he gonna make it?
Am                   G
I was cold and I was scared and naked.
F                      C
She carried me til I broke her back,
Am                   G
I took her shoes and lowered my hat
F                       C            Am    G
to block the light of a single moon


(Chorus)
      C         B/C       Am
And I count the stars and wonder how I 
F
ever fell this far.
   C     B/C    Am                     F
My cigarette it sparkles to the ground. 

Oh and I burn another down.


F                C
I saddle broke a wild scapegoat and
Am              G
hid the shoes I stole
F               C
when the winter nights turned cold
     Am                         G
them shoes would have warmed my toes

F               C
Made it down to Tennessee where I
Am                    G
found some friends to carry me
F                   C               Am    G
Yeeaah I hear their backbones creak


(Chorus)
      C         B/C       Am
And I count the stars and wonder how I 
F
ever fell this far.
   C     B/C    Am                     F
My cigarette it sparkles to the ground. (2x)

Oh and I burn another down.


F                      C
Im a grounded astronaut
Am                     G
this rock is not my home
F                      C
I can take this earth suit off
Am                     G        F    C
peel the fabric past my bones

Am          G                   F    C
This is not this is not my home
Am          G                   F    C
This is not this is not my home
Am          G                   F    C
This is not this is not my home..
Am          G                   F    C
This is not this is not my hooooooooome   
Am          G           F           C           Am          G
This is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not my home
F           C           Am        G
This is not this is not...this is not my home and...


(Chorus)
      C         B/C       Am
And I count the stars and wonder how I 
F
ever fell this far.
   C     B/C    Am                     F
My cigarette it sparkles to the ground. (2x)

F
And I burn, I burn, 
          Am      G  F
I burn it doooooooown,
          Am      G  F
I burn it doooooooown,
          Am      G  F
I burn it doooooooown,
          Am      G  F
I burn it doooooooown.
