The Desert Babbler

• G

Intro: G  C  Am  D (2x)  


verse 1 chords:  
G                 C    Am  
  It's New Year's Eve  
                 D  
and California's gonna kill you soon  
G              C     Am  
   The Barstow boys  
                D  
buckeyes in the shadow of the moon  


verse 2 chords: 
 
G       C                               Am                            
  Black houses in the hill and roadside hearts  
            D  
Dying for a place to fall apart  
G     C                                     Am  
  Who knew what you could learn to live without  
              D  
Mother Mary's lying in your mouth  

Bm     Em                                     Am  
  Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine  
                   D  
and every girl has got an axe to grind  
Bm    Em  
  You left to look for heaven  
           Am            D  
But you're far from that hard light tonight  


Interlude: G  C  Am  D (2x)  


verse 3: use verse 1 chords  
So quietly we've lost another year  
the desert put a babbler in your ear  
mean firewood and I miss you again  
Barstow boys are spit into the wind  

Bm     Em                                     Am  
  Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine  
                   D  
and every girl has got an axe to grind  
Bm    Em  
  You left to look for heaven  
           Am            D  
But you're far from that hard light tonight
