When Things Unravel

      C                       C                       C  C  C
Reverend Royal, Foggy eyes of California
         Am                                        C                    C  C  C
The sun sleeps in the ditches too lazy to burn it off
              Am                                 D      Am                   C
With a name like Smokey Bill Long, just lucky like Errol, 
                Am                     C                                  C  C  C
At the rodeo you spend most of your time in the dirt

    C                             C                          C  C  C
Staring at the seesaw face of Cornelia Williams
    Am                                    C                                        C  C  C
Staring back at you with a look that says she's gonna leave
   Am                    D               Am                     C
Out there on the flat land, trying to lasso the dog
                     Am                     C                                              C  C  C
With your bob and weave smiling at you with your yellow teeth
Chorus:
   Am                             C                                   C  C  C
When things unravel she'll be there with the needle
   Am                                        C                                          C  C  C
It's plain to see why there's two kinds of laughter in the world
  Am                                   D         Am                                     C
I've heard of robbin' the cradle, never heard of robbin' the grave
  C                                  C                                     C  C  C
Things will unravel my darlin' you can count the days

    C                                    C                C  C  C
Trying to cross with the traffic light today
   Am                      C                         C  C  C
Fell in the gravel that's all normal now
   Am               D               C                  C 
Dressed in Amarillo to match your red eyes
    Am                              C                   C  C  C
A painful contrast the owner and the wife

Chorus
   Am                                        C             C  C  C
Everyone knows there's no humor in suicide
   Am                                        C                                             C  C  C
Everyone laughs when they don't know and wish you right by
   Am                                       C              C  C  C
Everyone knows there's no humor in suicide
   Am                                       C                                             C  C  C
Everyone laughs when they don't know and pass you right by
Chorus:
