D                    A
  Outside there's a box car waiting
Em             G
  Outside the family stew
D             A
  Out by the fire breathing
Em           G
  Outside we wait til face turns blue

D             A
  I know the nervous walking
Em            G
  I know the dirty beard hangs
D             A
  Out by the box car waiting
Em                G
  Take me away to nowhere plains

They shake on the boxcar moving[?]
They shake to the land that's falling down
Is a wind makes-a palms start blowing
A big big storm fall and break my crown
