Gail With The Golden Hair chords by The Handsome Family

D

D          A
Out in the Red Rock Desert
              D
Sitting on the roof of my car
         A
Drinking cans of warm beer
           D
Watching the sky get dark

 G          D
Gail and I shot our empties
    A      D
with an old rusted rifle
   G        D
Her golden hair went flying
    Bm     F#
Like a wild brush fire
      G        A   D
When the mountains turned red at dusk

   D           A
Time passed in the burning desert
             D
and the tumbleweeds they tumbled
          A
We lay in a golden fire
              D
As the screaming buzzards circled

Bm           F#
Far down the darkened valley
   G         D
The city lights still twinkled
    Bm       F#
But my eyes saw only Gail
     G       D
And her hair of golden fire
      G        A   D
When the mountains turned red at dusk

     D           A
But the fire it burned right through her
           D
Gail followed unseen voices
           A
They led her to the city
           D
Deep in the darkened valley

     G          D
I drove circles through the alleys
A          D
Calling my burning lover
   G        D
But Gail ran deeper into the gloom
  A         D
Screaming at the streetlights

    Bm        F#
And I lost her there forever
 G          D
Deep in the valley's darkness
             A
My Gail with the golden hair
   G        D
That burns bright as fire
      G        A   D
When the mountains turned red at dusk

  D   G  A   Bm
