WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Iron And Wine - Waves Of Galveston Chords | Version #1
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can
G Em D
'Cause you've been hid behind the seawall, gently folded in the sand
D
Papa left you for Heaven after your Mama lost her song
G Em D
And though your baby left you for Houston, no one stays there very long
[Verse 2]
D
There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor, a gate that only closes
G Em D
Snowbirds fly away like secrets no one really wants to know
D
The climbing moon's always shining on the kind of shells you keep
G Em D A
The broken horse tied to the water tower's running in his sleep
[Chorus]
G Gm D Em7 A
It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall
G Gm D Em7 A
It's too bad Texas leans to the least of us all
D G D
And says, “If you can make the music then you can have the dance
G D G D
If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants”
[Interlude]
D G D G D
G D G D
[Verse 3]
D
So leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can
G Em D
'Cause it's the only place the Lone Star kind have offered you a hand
D
Your baby left you nothing but a dog she left for dead
G Em D A
You never knew you were a burden 'til it hit you on the head
[Chorus]
G Gm D Em7 A
It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall
G Gm D Em7 A
It's too bad Texas leans to the least of us all
D G D G D
And says, “If you can make the music then you can have the dance
G D G D G D G D
If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants”
[Outro]
