When Things Unravel (Cifras)

When Things Unravel



      D                       G                       D  G  D

Reverend Royal, Foggy eyes of California

         Em                                        G                    D  G  D

The sun sleeps in the ditches too lazy to burn it off

              Em                                 A      Em                   D

With a name like Smokey Bill Long, just lucky like Errol, 

                Em                     G                                  D  G  D

At the rodeo you spend most of your time in the dirt



    D                             G                          D  G  D

Staring at the seesaw face of Cornelia Williams

    Em                                    G                                        D  G  D

Staring back at you with a look that says she’s gonna leave

   Em                    A               Em                     D

Out there on the flat land, trying to lasso the dog

                     Em                     G                                              D  G  D

With your bob and weave smiling at you with your yellow teeth

Chorus:

   Em                             G                                   D  G  D

When things unravel she’ll be there with the needle

   Em                                        G                                          D  G  D

It’s plain to see why there’s two kinds of laughter in the world

  Em                                   A         Em                                     D

I’ve heard of robbin’ the cradle, never heard of robbin’ the grave

  D                                  G                                     D  G  D

Things will unravel my darlin’ you can count the days



    D                                    G                D  G  D

Trying to cross with the traffic light today

   Em                      G                         D  G  D

Fell in the gravel that’s all normal now

   Em               A               G                  D 

Dressed in Amarillo to match your red eyes

    Em                              G                   D  G  D

A painful contrast the owner and the wife



Chorus

   Em                                        G             D  G  D

Everyone knows there’s no humor in suicide

   Em                                        G                                             D  G  D

Everyone laughs when they don’t know and wish you right by

   Em                                       G              D  G  D

Everyone knows there’s no humor in suicide

   Em                                       G                                             D  G  D

Everyone laughs when they don’t know and pass you right by

Chorus:
