Far From Any Road True Detective Theme chords by The Handsome Family

The Handsome Family- Far From Any Road

Intro: Am


Am       E
From the dusty mesa
Dm          Am
Her looming shadow grows
Am       E
Hidden in the branches
Dm         Am
of the poison creosote

     C
She twines her spines up slowly
  G
Towards the boiling sun
   Dm
And when I touched her skin
   F       Am
My fingers ran with blood

 Am       E
In the hushing dusk
     Dm       Am
Under a swollen silver moon
  Am      E
I came walking with the wind
  Dm         Am
To watch the cactus bloom

    C
And strange hands halted me,
    G
The looming shadows danced
  Dm
I fell down to the thorny brush
   F       Am
And felt the trembling hands

 Am          E
When the last light warms the rocks
     Dm     Am
And the rattlesnakes unfold
 Am        E
Mountain cats will come
  Dm       Am
to drag away your bones

   C
And rise with me forever
  G
Across the silent sand
     Dm
And the stars will be your eyes
     F         Am
