Wichita Chords

(ver. 1)
Gillian Welch
[Verse]
C
She went back to Wichita
C
She went back to her ma and pa
G
Reckon I saw her next to my truck
                     C
Pumping gas with the car packed up.
C
We talked as neighbors will
C
There waiting for the tanks to fill
   G
We talked about nothing, how it might snow
                   C
How far she had to go.


[Chorus]
      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall
        Am          C      F 
And the fields burn in the fall
                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call
              C
Back in Wichita.


[Verse]
C
She came in '85
C
Came here as a July bride
       G
But it never got easy, never got rich
                            C
Ain't got much but what she came here with.
C
Good times have all been spent
C
She ain't broke but she's badly bent
        G
There's nothing she wants here, nothing that shines
                  C
She's made up her mind.


[Chorus]
      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall
        Am          C      F
And the fields burn in the fall
                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call
              C
Back in Wichita.


[Instrumental]
C  C  G  C

F  G  Am  C  F
F  F  F  G 
C

      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall
        Am          C      F
And the fields burn in the fall
                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call
              C
Back in Wichita.


[Bridge]
G
She says for all my time
        F                 C
Well, I ain't got much to show
G
You can tell that man of mine and
 F                  G
anyone who wants to know


[Chorus]
      F                          G
Going back where the grass grows tall
        Am          C      F
And the fields burn in the fall
                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call
              C
Back in Wichita.
                                   G
You can still hear the night birds call
              C
Back in Wichita.
