B              D 
I look at the sky 
           E              B 
I see an airplane as it flies 
            B                    D 
Is this the way they said Jesus came? 
                 E 
Gone through St Louis 
            B 
Gone straightaway 
                E               B 
And I hear the winter will cut you quick 
               E                       B 
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick

Woman are you home 
             E               B 
A house of cards a frame of bones 
       B            D 
Here I am earthly bound 
          E                B 
Said Hallelujah Im going down 
               E              B 
And the river Jordan is deep and wide 
               E                       B 
I think I see forever across on the other side

B         D                E 
Over the old bent cherry trees 
               B 
Shivering in a row 
               E               B 
Down here the winter will cut you quick

These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick

These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
