Intro: D riff x 4

D riff                     D                       CaddD        D
He was a coal miner in the spring, blinded with its dusty resolutions
                 CaddD            D                   A         G
broke his back for higher contributions, now he'd take anything
              CaddD    D                       CaddD         D
we'll she was nineteen-seventy, burning like a cigarette long season
                CaddD        D                   A                      G
Heir to all her family's old treasons, she makes love hard like an enemy
           D
Oh ma he's dying

CHORUS:

CaddD D                              CaddD D
        And the river don't sleep,           when the water runs cold
CaddD D                              CaddD D
        and the calender burns,              as the story unfolds
CaddD D                              CaddD D
        and the valley spans miles,          when the mountain stands high
CaddD G                              CaddD A
        can't they let us run wild           for another midnight

Perhaps we're an election day, pumping hands and kissing the babies
ain't no time for shadowed doubts or maybes is there another way?
Or we're a stolen cadillac racing for a roadblock in the distance
flashing by a lifetime in an instance can we take it back?
oh ma he's dying, oh ma he's dying

CHORUS
