Dead Melodies Lyrics

Intro: C G F Am A Dm G C G G7
Verse 1:
Where will you go when this day is over?
A gambler's purse lays on the road....
Straight to your door snakes have gone crazy tonight
winding their way out of sight
Verse 2:
A laugh, a joke a sentiment wasted
Seasons of strangers they've come and gone....
Soldrums are pounding, cheapskates are clowning this town
Who could disown themselves now?
Instrumental Break: C G F Am A Dm G C G G7 (x2)
Verse 3:
Engineer, slow down this old train
Cinders and chaff laugh at the moon....
Night birds will cackle, rotting like apples on trees
sending their dead melodies....to me
