The Handsome Family - A Dark Eye Chords

G

                D                   G
In the parking lot where I waited alone
                   C                       G
A white bird sat sleeping on a broken payphone
                         C                          G
And there came a black beetle dragging off a green fly
                     D                   G
Underneath a parked car and then out of sight

                   C                     G
And I felt a dark eye turn its gaze upon me
           D                      G  G/F#
As if the earth, the earth could see

       Em           G
A dark eye, a dark eye
        D           G
A dark eye fell on me

                D                         G
In the parking lot where a prairie once grew
                       C                  G
And through the tall grass, the buffalo flew
                    C                G
I heard something crying way down below
                        D                  G
Where the sewer lines snake around Indian bones

                 D                     G
In that parking lot, cars bake in the sun
                        C                  G
And somewhere down the road, the pop of a gun
                 C                G
I watched a red ant crawl up my shin
               D                    G  G/F#
And I felt so sad until it bit my skin

       Em           G
A dark eye, a dark eye
        D           G
A dark eye fell on me
