King Of Dust chords by The Handsome Family

King Of Dust
From the album Unseen

INTRO:

N.C.

VERSE 1:

  C         F C   G          C  C7
I dreamed that I was flying above the glittering world,
    F       C        G     C
but I woke up in the bar ditch, car ready to explode
 F       C      F        C
Hanging upside down in the front seat of my truck
    F        C     G     C C7
The scream of grinding metal, 40 cars piling up

CHORUS:

 F          C      E        Am G
Nothing rusts in the desert. The air is full of ghosts
 F           C     G          C  C7
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
   F         C     G              Am G
Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared what you saw
      F  Fm    C
when you stared into the sun

INTERLUDE:

C

VERSE 2:

C             F C   G          C C7
Ancient oceans have been lost  beneath this shifting clay
     F       C       G         C
where conquistadors in silver hunted Cibola across the plains,
      F       C       F        C
but there are no golden cities, only trailer parks and dust,
  F      C         G       C C7
and angels only fly here when you drive into the sun

CHORUS:

 F          C      E        Am G
Nothing rusts in the desert. The air is full of ghosts
 F           C     G          C  C7
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
   F         C     G              Am G
Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared what you saw
      F  Fm    C
when you stared into the sun
