Des Moines

	  		
verse 1: 
                    D 
That night in Des Moines 
                Em7 
Goner'd streets dying 
       G 
Sunset buildings 
              D 
Cut with shade 

We sent our smoke 
               Em7 
Up through the streetlights 
            G 
We sent our prayers out 
                 D 
Through an old P.A. 
                  Em7 
That night in Des Moines 
                  D 
That night in Des Moines 


verse 2: 

That night in Des Moines 
             Em7 
Too late for supper 
         G 
Yeah, we sat at the bar 
                   D 
And we drank three beers 

And we watched the house 
                Em7 
Filling up with no one 
      G 
But god was listening 
                     D 
And he cupped his ear 
                  Em7 
That night in Des Moines 
                  D 
That night in Des Moines 


Instrumental: D         Em7    G    D         Em7    G    D 


verse 3: 

That night in Des Moines 
                     Em7 
Picked you up at the airport 
                        G 
I threw your rig in the back seat 
                 D 
And I shook your hand 

And the heat from the asphalt 
                  Em7 
It was liquid and dancing 
                     G 
And we walked to the front door 
                     D 
Like a rock 'n' roll band 
                  Em7 
That night in Des Moines 
                   D 
That night in Des Moines 


verse 4: 

That night in Des Moines 
                      Em7 
We slept at your Mom's house 
                     G 
We drove east in the darkness 
                   D 
Toward a whole new day 

And the lights on the big trucks 
                  Em7 
Were like gun camera tracers 
           G 
On I-80 at midnight 
                        D 
There was nothing to say
