Far from Any Road
guitar chords lyrics
The Handsome Family - "Far From Any Road" from their album "Singing bones" (2003)
Also the official theme song of HBO series "True Detective"
Am E Dm Am
From the dusty May sun her looming shadow grows
Am E Dm Am
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
C
She twines her spines up slowly
G
Towards the boiling sun
Dm
And when I touched her skin
F
My fingers ran with blood
Am E Dm Am
In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
Am E Dm Am
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
C G
And strange hands halted me, the looming shadows danced
Dm F
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt the trembling hands
Am E
When the last light warms the rocks
Dm Am
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Am E Dm Am
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones
C
And rise with me forever
G
Across the silent sand
Dm
And the stars will be your eyes
F
And the wind will be my hands
