Rochester Mat Kearney
Mat Kearney ? Rochester
Capo 4
[C]I was born in Rochester [F]to a book making man
[C]had a fake cigar shop with the ga[G]mes on in the back
[C]see them coming and going letting it rid[F]e on thorough breads
[C]the police chief and tom hall wondering [G]what was the sp[C]read
[C]I carried rich man?s bags through brier [F]trying to chase down a little white ball
[C]learned that any soft place wasn[G]'t good for me at all
[C]daddy'd come home fired up looki[F]ng for some sort of release
[C]he'd beat the hell of Timmy and [G]Timmy'd beat the hell out of me[C]
[F]I would hop the fence out to those government fields [C]
[F]run till there was nothing left [C]to feel
[F]lying there watching planes just[C] disappear
[G]knowing one day I?m gonna fly on out of [C]here
[C]the same police chief came knocking my f[F]irst freshman day
p[C]ut my daddy in handcuffs and his pic[G]ture on the front page
[C]took every one of his suits and all m[F]y dignity
[C]I?d walk the halls of irodiquie [G]waiting for any punk to[C] set me free
[F]I would hop the fence out to those government fields [C]
[F]run till there was nothing left [C]to feel
[F]lying there watching planes just[C] disappear
[G]knowing one day I?m gonna fly on out of [C]here
[C]got that call to Vietnam just li[F]ke everyone else i knew
[C]so scared of the hand grenades through them fart[G]her than any other troop
[C]came home like an iron fist and [F]Timmy tried to take my keys
[C]ripped open his from pocket that was the last ti[G]me he touched m[C]e
[C]moved to an island out west and [F]up to Breckenridge
[C]met a mermaid on a glass boat and she pr[G]omised me some kids
[C]bought a house in Oregon where you could[F] touch both of the walls
[C]had a son named Benjamin and i w[G]as so scared of it al[C]l
Interlude (same as Verses)
[C]well Benjamin walked in the front room where I w[F]as cutting up my hash
[C]looked into his deep blue eyes wondering w[G]hy I?d been so mad
[C]flushed a quarter pound down the drain praying for the m[F]ercy to confess
[C]trying to rip the boy from Rochester rig[G]ht out of my ch[C]est
[F]were gonna walk right out into those heavenly fi[C]elds
[F]run like there was no more time to steal[C]
[F]my three boys and the grace of god revea[C]led
[G]knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here[C]
[G]knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here[C]
The Chords are in the right spot but listen for the change so you know when to
switch, it is really obvious!! This is one of my favorite songs he plays and
there are tones of youtube video to watch him play it! Enjoy!!
