Fred Eaglesmith from the album Mercy Now by Mary Gauthier
Very slow like windshield wiper rhythm
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D]
(G)Well, I (D)stared out the (D)windshield into the (D)rain so (Bm)light,
And I (D)turned on my (D)dims, somebody (D)flashed me their (Bm) brights.
And I (G)reached over and (G)turned the radio way down (D)low (Bm)
Your (D)sister cried (A)all the way (D)home.
(D)Lightning crashed, and the (D)road shone like a (Bm)mirror,
A (D)dog came out the ditch, then he disa(Bm)ppeared,
And I re(G)membered the conversation we had on the tele(D)ph(Bm)one,
Your (D)sister cried (A)all the way (D)home.
(G)I'll never know how you (G)got in to such a (D)mess,
(G)Why do the brides maids all have to (G)wear the same (D)dress?
(G)Everybody said, you looked, real (G)good,
But I think you looked (D)stoned(Bm)
Your (D)sister cried (A)all the way (D)home
Your (D)sister cried (A)all the way (D)home
Your (D)sister cried (A)all the way (D)home
Your (D)sister cried (A)all the way (D)home
