Minneapolis by Lucinda Williams from the album World Without Tears
Intro G/G/G/G/G/G/G/G
[G]Ive been waiting for you to come [A]back
C G since you left Minneapolis
Snow covers the street[D]lamps and the
windowsi[C]lls
The buildings and the brittle crooked trees[G][D][C]
Dead leaves of December, thin skinned and [G][D][G]
splin[D]tered
[G]Never gotten us[D]ed to this bitter wi[C]nter
Ive been wasted angry and sad since you [G][A]
[C]left Minnea[G]polis
I wish my thoughts were pure like the [D]
driv[C]en snow
Like the [G]heavens and the [D]springs virgin
[C]
[buds]
But they strangled me with their sin, fill [G][D][G]
me up with [D]poison
Black clouds have covered up the sun again[G][D][C]
I can always trace it back to that night in [G][A][C]
Minne[G]apolis
Here on the seventh floor in a room I cant [D][C]
call mine
Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign[G][D][C]
[G]Shaking and tr[D]embling
[G]On the clean white l[D]inen
Slivers of starlight danced across the [G][D]
[C]ceiling
A dozen yellow roses all thats left in [G][A][C]
Minne[G]apolis
I wish Id never s[D]een your face or h[C]eard
your voice
Youre a bad pain in my gut, I wanna spit [G][D][C]
you out
Open up this wound again, let my blood flow [G][D][G]
[D]red and thin
[G]Into the gl[D]istening,[G] into the w[D]hiteness [G]
Into the m[D]elting snow of Minn[C]eapolis[G]
