With an eye Fowards

A dollar to make 
   Dm            F 
He pitched us a sale 
      C 
About healin' and 
G          Dm    C  G 
Oil from a snake 
    Dm          F 
The barkeep he warned him 
        C 
But the man he 
    G         Dm   C  G 
Did not comprehend 

    F                        G 
How strangers round here disappear

Like straw in the wind

Too young but in love 
         C 
When she met him

In some northern town 
   Dm 
He treated her good 
          C 
'Till the sun and 
    G            Dm   C  G 
The whiskey went down 
        Dm             F 
Did the bruise on her face 
         C 
Test the patience 
   G          Dm  C  G 
Of all of her kin 

      F                        G 
Or do strangers round here disappear 
                  Dm 
Like straw in the wind

Verse 3:
   Dm             F 
Oh Clem runs his mouth 
        C 
When he drinks since 
    G            Dm  C  G 
His wife passed away 
         Dm           F 
But he's good to the kids 
        G 
And his crops that 
   F              Dm    F  C  G 
He sells for fair trade 
      Dm          F 
But a travelling man 
     C 
Had enough took a 
G           Dm   C  G 
Pipe to his chin 

     F                  G

Like straw in the wind

Oh, if the mouth of this river

Could talk here's 
G             Dm  F  C  G 
What it would say 
       Dm              F 
If you come here with Good 
        G 
In your heart 
       F          Dm  F  C  G 
You'll be on your way

Oh but I'm not the one 
         C 
Here who judged 
 G            Dm  F  C  G 
Another man's sin
