The Petrified Forest chords by The Handsome Family

D

VERSE 1:
        G  F#m
When we were together
        Bm Bm/A G
I lay in your river
    G      A    Bm  Bm/A Bm
As the fish swam through my hands
        G  F#m
Raindrops and roses
        Bm  Bm/A G
fell from the heavens
     G   A      D Dsus4 D
Just to brush against your skin
           G F#m
And a strand of your hair
       Bm Bm/A G
lost to the wind
    G        A     D Dsus4 D
Sent doves wheeling through the air

CHORUS:
       G A          D   Dsus4 D
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest
G        A      Bm Bm/A Bm
 Stumbling on rocks in the dark
     G A       D  Dsus4 D
But I remember, I still remember
     G        A    D Dsus4 D
When you held me in your beautiful arms

INTERLUDE:
 G   F#m   Bm Bm/A  G     A   Bm Bm/A Bm

VERSE 2:
          G F#m
When you left me alone
          Bm Bm/A G
the sky turned to stone
    G      A    Bm Bm/A Bm
And my legs rolled into the sea
       G  F#m
Why did you go?
        Bm Bm/A G
The sea was so cold
  G     A      D  Dsus4 D
My arms blew off in the breeze
          G    F#m
I search for your footprints,
       Bm  Bm/A G
the scent of roses
    G     A     D Dsus4 D
As the wind weeps over the sea

CHORUS:
       G A          D   Dsus4 D
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest
G        A      Bm Bm/A Bm
 Stumbling on rocks in the dark
     G A         D  Dsus4 D
And I remember, I'll always remember
     G        A    Bm  Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
