Verse 1
Bm               F#        Bm
This place plays tricks on me
Em              Em7     Bm
   I don’t know why I’m here
Em             Em7    Bm
   So peaceful and serene
    F#        F#7       Bm
But   it only brings me tears
     Bm7    F#        F#7       Bm
Good lord     it only brings me tears
Chorus
Bm          Bm7
My bad luck boots
       Bm
And my hard luck hand
   Em
My coal black thoughts
   Bm        Bm7    Em
Reappear, reprimand
Em
And hold my head
       Bm           Bm7
To the silt, to the sand
       F#         F#7
To the bone-white dead
       Bm
Of the Rio Grande

Verse 2
Bm       F#         Bm
I return every last time
       Em                       Bm
With a strong and a hopeful heart
    Em                   Bm
But under a mocking blue sky
    Bm7  F#                F#7  Bm
Somehow    it all just crumbles apart
F#               F#7      Bm
  Oh it all just crumbles apart
Chorus
Bm          Bm7
My bad luck boots
       Bm
And my hard luck hand
   Em
My coal black thoughts
   Bm        Bm7    Em
Reappear, reprimand
Em
And hold my head
       Bm           Bm7
To the silt, to the sand
       F#         F#7
To the bone-white dead

Outro
Bm             F#7        Bm    Bm7
The pines have lost their green
         Em        Em7   Bm    Bm7
Now they stare without a sound
    Em         Em7     Bm    Bm7
The wind’s too cold to sing
            F#    F#7       Bm
The snow is heavy    on the ground
F#   F#7        Bm      F# F#7    Bm
   Heavy on the ground
