Emily White - Arkansas INTRO: C Em C D G Well, the flags are all at half-mast C We don't have to ask Em D We've all got our own reasons why these days G C And the men in the vinyl diner seats Em They got their hands clasped so tightly D G C Em C D G Sending their prayers up to the father above
C I used to know that father well Em And then some say that I fell D And I guess I've got the scars to prove 'em right G C There's a sign at the end of that road Em Says it's as far as cars can go D G C Em C D C And if you wanna go any further, you are gonna have to walk CHORUS: Am Some people walk and some people ride F G Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven C Am The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight F G C Em C D G And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there alright There's a billboard from Jesus C On the way to New Orleans Em D And the billboard from Jesus says that it's for lease G Well, he might just be bones and dust C And the thing that saved my life Em D G C Em C D C I got a brother looking out for me on the angels' side CHORUS: Am Some people walk and some people ride F G Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven C Am The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight F G C Em C D G C G And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there alright C Today we learned the truth too late Em We reminded ourselves not to hesitate D G Held on a little tighter to the ones that we've still got C And I held my guitar like a life raft Em Holding me up in the mine shaft D G Digging up a dream I still believe BRIDGE: C Am F G Oh, I think it's gonna be alright, alright, al--right C Am F G C Oh, I think it's gonna be alright, alright, al--right CHORUS: Am Some people walk and some people ride F G Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven C Am The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight F G And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there CHORUS: C Am Some people walk and some people ride F G Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven C Am The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight F G C Em C D G
