Dm7                        Am
Autumn on the Maine coast, Mary-Ann was closing windows
C                                 Em
Talking to herself yeah she lived alone
Dm7                            Am
Looking at her fields now, she steps outside of the farmhouse
C                                 Em
Every year a little less eager to grow
                  Dm7            G
Those fields were born on a wild soul, 
        Am                     
still a fraction of a balanced whole
          D                                        F
Oh but control belonged in the hands of the oilmen now

[Chorus]
             Am                  G     D  
Oh there's a trouble comin' in, 
            F          Am        G
it's got my heart in a murmuring state
             Am             C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
             F       Am       G                 Am
That I'll be here to watch it fade, to watch it fade
  G       F
Oooo oooo ooooh


Dm7                          Am
They were dancing in Havana, celebrating quinceñera
C                          Em
Speaking softly by the radio
Dm7                                        Am
Some believed that they could wait it out, others felt only a growing doubt
    C                         Em
But few perceived the October storm
                    Dm7                      G
Outside there was a rustle in the oak leaves
            Am                     
There was a frost that was starting to heave
          D                                 F
So many more at home, singing their kids to sleep

[Repeat Chorus]

Dm7                          Am
Jefferey built a gravestone,    for the summer when he made known
C                                Em
Money it was gonna get tight for him
Dm7                           Am
It was harder than he lot on, but you could say that he'd been betting on
    C                         Em
The lesser horse, time and again
            Dm7                      G
Still he remembered when his kid was born
      Am                     
He remembered how the air was warm
    D                                         F
But most of all, he thought about the task at hand

             Am                  G     D  
Oh there's a trouble comin' in, 
            F          Am        G
it's got my heart in a murmuring state
             Am             C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
             F       Am       G      
That I'll be here to watch it fade, oh
Am                   G                      F
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
Am                   G                      F
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
Am                   G                      Am
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
  G       F
Oooo oooo ooooh
