[Verse 1]
Bm               F#         Bm
This place plays tricks on me
Em              Em7       Bm
   I don’t know why I’m here
Em             Em7    Bm
   So peaceful and serene
    F#        F#7       Bm
But   it only brings me tears
     Bm7    F#        F#7       Bm
Good lord     it only brings me tears


[Chorus]
Bm          Bm7
My bad luck boots
       Bm
And my hard luck hand
   Em
My coal black thoughts
   Bm        Bm7    Em
Reappear, reprimand
Em
And hold my head
       Bm              Bm7
To the silt, to the sand
       F#         F#7
To the bone-white dead
       Bm
Of the Rio Grande

[Verse 2]

Bm       F#          Bm
I return every last time
       Em                       Bm
With a strong and a hopeful heart
    Em                   Bm
But under a mocking blue sky
    Bm7  F#                F#7    Bm  Bm7
Somehow    it all just crumbles apart mmm
F#               F#7        Bm
   it all just crumbles apart


[Chorus]
Bm          Bm7
My bad luck boots
       Bm
And my hard luck hand
   Em
My coal black thoughts
   Bm        Bm7    Em
Reappear, reprimand
Em
And hold my head
       Bm           Bm7
To the silt, to the sand
       F#         F#7
To the bone-white dead
       Bm
Of the Rio Grande

[Outro]
    Bm         F#7             Bm  Bm7
The pines have lost their green
         Em          Em7   Bm    Bm7
Now they   stare without a sound
    Em         Em7     Bm    Bm7
The wind’s too cold to sing
            F#    F#7           Bm  Bm7
The snow is heavy    on the ground
F#     F#7        Bm         F# F#7    Bm
   Heavy   on the ground
