American Triangle

	  		
verse 1 

C                       G 
Seen him playing in his backyard 
F                        C 
Young boy just starting out 
G       E7              Am 
So much history in this landscape 
Bb                         G 
So much confusion, so much doubt 
C                            G 
Been there drinking on that front porch 
F                     C 
Angry kids, mean and dumb 
G            E7                   Am 
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline 
Bb                            E Am E 
God hates fags where we come from 

 
F              C 
'Western skies' don't make it right 
G             E                   Am 
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense 
             E 
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire 
        Am 
Left to die on a high ridge fence 
                  Dm                      C 
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a cold, cold wind 
                  D E      Am  E Am Dm E C F G 
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming

C                   G 
See two coyotes run down a deer 
F                        C 
Hate what we don't understand 
G      E7                 Am 
You pioneers give us your children 
Bb                                    E Am E 
But it's your blood that stains their hands 

 
F              C 
'Western skies' don't make it right 
G             E                   Am 
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense 
             E 
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire 
        Am 
Left to die on a high ridge fence 
                  Dm                      C 
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a cold, cold wind 
                  D E      Am  E Am Dm E C F G 
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming 


Bridge 
E                            Am 
Somewhere that road forks up ahead 
E                    Am 
To ignorance and innocence 
F                              G 
Three lives drift on different winds 
           E                Am    Am/G 
Two lives ruined, one life spent 

 
F              C 
'Western skies' don't make it right 
G             E                   Am 
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense 
             E 
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire 
        Am 
Left to die on a high ridge fence 
                  Dm                      C 
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a cold, cold wind 
                  D E      Am  E Am Dm E C F G 
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
