The Truth Is in the Dirt Lyrics
by Karen Elson
'The Truth is in the dirt'
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
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon
when the ground splits open it will swallow you
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
not in your poison tongue or your acid tears
let the truth howl in your ears
Here she comes it's killing time
flames are burning behind her eyes
here she comes it's killing time
flames are burning behind her eyes
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Not in your claws drawn-out scratch 'til it bleeds
knocked down dead gets what she needs
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
not on a blazing horse from the midnight sun
the fire will turn your bones to dust
Here she comes it's killing time
flames are burning behind her eyes
here she comes it's killing time
flames are burning behind her eyes
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon
when the ground splits open it will swallow you
then FFFF G F E - F E X3
Am E x10 and on Am
