Em G Em G D


[Verse 1]
G           A             D
She said don't worry baby when she left me
         Em                           C              G               D
You were alright on your own before I came along and made this happy home
        G                       A               D              Bm
And you can take that damned ol guitar, pack it up and hit the road
      A                  G           D
After all youre probably better off alone


[Verse 2]
     G                A                  D
So I grabbed that ol guitar and hit the highway
          Em                            C                G              D
It doesnt take too long to pack When an empty seat holds everything you own
            G               A              D              Bm
And I found comfort knowing with a moments notice I could roll
      A                G          D
After all I'm probably better off alone


[Chorus]
                  G
And the cold wind blows
G                               D
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
    A         G          A                G
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
     Em              G             D
Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul

Em G A D


[Verse 3]
       G          A              D
I was just past Arizona when she called me
      Em                                C               G           D
Her voice, it seemed to change as if it aged although it wasnt long ago
         G                A              D                   Bm
She said lately I've been thinking maybe you could come back home
            A              G          D
I told her maybe I'm just better off alone


[Chorus]
                  G
And the cold wind blows
G                               D
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
    A         G          A                G
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
     Em              G             D
Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul

G D A G A G Em G D


[Verse 4]
          G              A                D
Just like waves upon the cliffs along the ocean
Em                           C               G               D
Time goes by until the water changes rock to beaches made of sand
            G                A                D             Bm
And this ol heart can take a beatin just like mother nature planned
       A            G               D
I just hope it isnt more than I can stand


[Chorus]
                  G
And the cold wind blows
G                               D
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
    A         G          A                G
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
     Em              G             D
Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul

           Em              G             D
Just like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
