                E                    A      E 
Well, there's a shutter hangin' on a window pane
        E                            A           E
And the paint's 'a crackin' from the sun and the rain
E                       A    E 
I don't care 'cause I'm all alone
         E                       A      E
Well, my woman done left me in a broken home


Chorus:
                  E   A             E      A
In high weeds and rust up around my truck
              E    A               B
With a broken heart and an inch of dust
A            E   A             E     A
I've seen it all, boom turn to bust
                 E    B                  E 
And I'm about to drown in high weeds and rust


There's a tractor sittin' in an empty field
I said I wouldn't do nothin' 'til my heart had healed
And I know I need to get her off my mind
Cause when the bank comes lookin' for me, all they'll find is

Chorus

Bridge:
       A
Well a blackbird sittin' on the telephone line
E
Watchin' me layin' around wastin' time
A
Never thought I could sink so low
B
I never thought, I just let it go to

Chorus
