                            'The Truth is in the dirt'
                                written by Karen Elson
theres a lot of steel guitar on this song 
you could easily substitute a slide to improvise most of it.

Capo(ed) on the 2nd Fret
Intro Am  E x6

Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
F                                 E
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon
F                                   E
when the ground splits open it will swallow you

Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
            F                     E
not in your poison tongue or your acid tears
        F                  E
let the truth howl in your ears

F         G                 Am
Here she comes it's killing time
F            G        E
flames are burning behind her eyes
F          G                Am
here she comes it's killing time
F            G       E
flames are burning behind her eyes

Am   E x2
Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
            F                         E
Not in your claws drawn-out scratch 'til it bleeds
F                        E
knocked down dead gets what she needs
Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am                              E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
           F                       E
not on a blazing horse from the midnight sun
     F                           E
the fire will turn your bones to dust
F         G                 Am
Here she comes it's killing time
F            G        E
flames are burning behind her eyes
F          G                Am
here she comes it's killing time
F            G       E
flames are burning behind her eyes

The truth is in the dirt on the ground
             F                    E
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon
