Vernonia Blues

Tom: D

Verso 1:
D                    D9
There's a pain the west, 
D                           D9
a sinking feeling deep down in their chests. 
D9                     Em
A little a girl, a town with her name, 
             D9             Em
her daddy died before she had came. 

Verso 2:
C9         Em                           D
To see the place and just how it laid to waste. 
D9                       Em      D9
The rain it came and did not stop. 
Dsus 2             Em              D9 
All the streets filling up to their tops, 
D9        Em     D9
it's coming up to their knees,
Dsus 2             Em              D9 
 the river had its way it did as it pleased. 
C                                      Em
On the water's sheen there's rainbows of gasoline. 

Outro:
D9          Em
Lord of mine where have you been? 
D9                          Em
When there's trouble you are nowhere to be seen. 
D9              Em
A little town like a lamb. 
D9                     C9        Em
Well a lion come down and took their dam. 
Em              C9                                 D9
February was lean, and March came to scream.  (2x)
