13 Corners Chords

[Intro]
F Am G F Am
 
[Verse 1]
C
In the high Sierra mountains
         Am
Driving through a reservation
     C
On a cold and icy night
     Am
At an old Texaco station
        F
And the man behind the counter
      Dm
As he handed me my change
     F             Dm
Said son best turn around
           Em           G
Or take it easy on our range
 
[Chorus]
                F                 Am
Because there’s 13 corners on the road across the pass
G
Built right through a burial ground
   F                Am
Of steel and broken glass
     F
That two lane highway’s haunted
       Am
By the souls of those who’ve crashed
   G
So watch out for the ghosts
          F                    Am
And don’t take those turns too fast
 
[Verse 2]
C
Headlights fast approaching
            Am
Right there in my rear view mirror
C
Looked forward just in time
              Am
To swerve and nearly hit a deer
         F
And that car careened past me
    Dm Am  Dm
Off into a ravine
      F               Dm
And I saw that forest flash
       Em        G
Like a match to gasoline
 
[Chorus]
       F                 Am
On the 13th corner on the road across the pass
G
Built right through a burial ground
   F                Am
Of steel and broken glass
     F
That two lane highway’s haunted
       Am
By the souls of those who’ve crashed
   G
So watch out for the ghosts
          F                    Am
And don’t take those turns too fast
 
[Instrumental Break]
F Am G F Am
 
[Verse 3]
C
When I hit the breaks right where
   Am
The car had gone on down
C
Searching for the wreckage
          Am
There was nothing to be found
F
Just a rusty burnt out engine
      Dm
And a crushed up metal frame
F                      Dm
With those woods as my witness
Em                 G
I swear that I saw flames
 
[Chorus]
       F                 Am
On the 13th corner on the road across the pass
G
Built right through a burial ground
   F                Am
Of steel and broken glass
     F
That two lane highway’s haunted
       Am
By the souls of those who’ve crashed
   G
So watch out for the ghosts
          F                    Am
And don’t take those turns too fast
