The Way It Goes Gillian Welch
The Harrow and the Harvest - 2011
Capo 1
[Em]Becky Johnson bought the farm
[Em]Put a needle in her arm
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
[Em]And her brother laid her down
[Em]In the cold Kentucky ground
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
That's the [G]way that it [Em]goes
Every[C]body's buying little baby [G]clothes[D]
That's the [G]way that it [Em]ends
Though there [C]was a time when[B7] she and I were f[Em]riends
[Em]Well, Miranda ran away
[Em]Took her cat and left LA
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
[Em]She was busted, broke and flat
[Em]Had to sell that pussy cat
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
That's the [G]way that it [Em]goes
Every[C]body's buying little baby [G]clothes[D]
That's the [G]way that it [Em]ends
Though there [C]was a time when[B7] he and I were fr[Em]iends
[Em]See the brightest ones of all
[Em]Early in October fall
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
[Em]While the dark ones go to bed
[Em]With good whiskey in their head
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
[Em]Now Billy Joe's back in the tank
[Em]You tell Russo, I'll tell Frank
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
[Em]Did he throw her down a well?
[Em]Did she leave him for that swell?
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
That's the [G]way that it [Em]goes
Every[C]body's buying little baby [G]clothes[D]
That's the [G]way that it [Em]ends
Though there [C]was a time when[B7] all of us were f[Em]riends
[Em]When you lay me down to rest
[Em]Leave a pistol in my vest
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
[Em]Do you miss my gentle touch?
[Em]Did I hurt you very much?
That's the [B7]way that it goes
That's the [Em]way
That's the [G]way that it [Em]goes
Every[C]body's buying little baby [G]clothes[D]
That's the [G]way that it [Em]ends
Though there [C]was a time when[B7] you and I were f[Em]riends
