Portable Television

	  		
Intro: G 


Verse 1 chords: 

G 
Portable television, shrouded in snow 
     Am                 C/G 
In a raggedy van on the side of the road 
    G 
The night it had frozen through my little bones 
       Am                        C/G 
So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold 


Chorus 1 chords:
 
G                       Am          C/G 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
G                       Am          C/G         G 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 


Verse 2: use verse 1 chords 

Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves 
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me 
And where we were going it was built like a lie 
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why

And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 


Bridge:
 
  C/G                 G 
I saw it in the soil just recently 
          Am                                   G 
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields of infinite greed 
    C/G                       G 
And here laid the father, and here stood the son 
          Am                         G             C/G 
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone, for everyone

Portable television, take us away 
From this burden of reflection we've carried today 
Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air 
And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare

And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
