Aaron Walker - Meanders

Intro: C      D       G 

 
C          G                   D 
As my head meanders round that bend 
  Em          G            A 
I say Hey kid put down the smoke 
Bm                                   Cm 
you don't need it for a good life go get yourself 
   G                          D 
a good wife and all will turn out fine 
 

 
Em                     Bm 
A backstreet cure in a bottle of gold 
C                      G 
Young lads buying lies thatve forever been told 
Em                      Bm 
A thief of your life, a friend in your mind 
Am                      D 
Pulling bricks from the road of your life 
 

 
G                     D 
So shut the curtains, light me up 
Em                 C 
This road meanders through my bones 
G                    D 
Oh, this heavy stuff drags us down 
Em           C 
The druggies hide in our quiet town

They gather down on the corner street 
Em              G                   A 
You can tell by the lean theyre on green 
Bm                              C 
Lost in a haze that they cannot break 
G                        D 
Paying the price for the choices they make

You can smell it in the air

Ignore it like they just dont care

Outro: 
G                       D 
Yeah shut the curtains, dim the light 
Em                         C 
The green smoke chokes the endless night 
G                    D 
This heavy weight is built to drown 
Em                   C 
The druggies own our quiet town 
G                    D 
Yeah they own our quiet town

This town is on its own way down 
G               D           Em 
And no one even frowns
