       D               Dsus4    D5                          G 
You'll recall from the sagas I hope Grettir's last stand at Drangey 
        A/C#                        G/B                D  Dsus2 D Dsus2 
How his grip on the sword made his enemies cut off his hand 
        D           Dsus4          D5                     G 
If he'd fled here instead, and had tasted this terrible coffee 
                A/C#                   G/B 
Or read these letters you sent he'd surrender 
                   D Dsus2 D Dsus2 
and lay the blade down 

         G    A7/4 
And it's Hall - o - ween 
       D/F#                           G 
Skinny ghosts dress like cowboys and rest 
       A       Bmadd2    Bm  Bmadd2 Bm 
at the railing by my door 
         G             A             D   Dsus2  D   Dsus2 
On their way from the children's ward 
     D            Dsus4          D5                 G 
Bev Monroe and his Pembina Valley boys play at the party 
      A/C#                   G/B                      D  Dsus2  D Dsus2 
And I practice my English on nurses, "Oh, that's a nice name." 
         D           Dsus4          D5                         G 
And they may ask for mine, but the burns on my back from the x-rays 
        A/C#                G/B             D Dsus2 D Dsus2 
Say I shouldn't show anyone anything ever again 

   G   A7/4 
In another year 
         D/F#                G 
I'll be buried or shivering here. 
         A      Bmadd2 Bm  Bmadd2 Bm 
Coughing at the grey spittoon 
         G            A         D Dsus2 D Dsus2 
Painted orange by the harvest moon 

D - Dsus4 - D5      G 
A/C# - G/B - D - Dsus2 - D - Dsus2 
D - Dsus4 - D5      G 
A/C# - G/B - D - Dsus2 - D - Dsus2 

         G  A7/4 
Pack up mother's clothes 
          D/F#                  G 
Drive her down to the new Betel Home 
         A       Bmadd2 Bm Bmadd2 Bm 
Sell the boat to Arnison 

And then go...

         G               A            Bmadd2 Bm Bmadd2 Bm 
stand up straight in the place you're longing for 
          G          A 
And don't write to me anymore
