Key: E
 
[Intro]
G  Dm  F  C
G  Dm  F  C
 
[Verse 1]
             G                       Dm
Well there’s something heavy in this black tide breeze
          F                   C
Sends the wheat to ripple and rolling
        G                       Dm
And I’m curled in its wake I am gently broke
   F      C        G
Oh memory   kaleidoscope
 
[Instrumental]
   Dm  F  C
G  Dm  F  C
 
[Chorus]
    G                                  Dm
And after a while when I come up on an empty mile
                     F
Lay my head back and dream a while
       Em  F   G
of the way  you rocked me
   G                                  Dm
In eventide I’ll float away up in the day I find
               F
An easy way to leave behind
    Em  F   G
the way  you rocked me
 
[Instrumental]
G  Dm  F  C
G  Dm  F  C
 
[Verse 2]
           G                  Dm
And I take twenty-seven to Amarillo
         F                   C
Leave my broken heart in a hotel room
         G                         Dm
With the residue of cigarettes and strangers
         F                   C
With the hum of the AC and cicadas
        G                                 Dm
And I’m gonna ride this highway like it’s something
             F                    C
Listening to Johnny Cash and Gram Parsons
         G                Dm
And I’ll chase the sky forever
       F           C
if you ever let me go
 
[Chorus]
    G                                  Dm
And after a while when I come up on an empty mile
                     F
Lay my head back and dream a while
       Em  F   G
of the way  you rocked me
   G                                  Dm
In eventide I’ll float away up in the day I find
               F
An easy way to leave behind
    Em  F   G
the way  you rocked me
 
[Instrumental]
Dm   G
Dm   G
Dm   G   Am
 
[Bridge]
Dm                       G
Everything around us was changing
   Am
An aspirin gently in the palm of your
Dm                  G       Am
Hands and tell your some me still
D                        G
Everything around us was changing
   Am
An aspirin gently in the palm of your
Dm              G      Am
Hands and who I tell I fell
 
[Chorus]
    G                                  Dm
And after a while when I come up on an empty mile
                     F
Lay my head back and dream a while
       Em  F   G
of the way  you rocked me
   G                                  Dm
In eventide I’ll float away up in the day I find
               F
An easy way to leave behind
    Em  F   G
the way  you rocked me
 
[Outro]
C     Em
Oooh  oooh love
C     Em
Oooh  oooh love
C                 F         C       G
Oooh  the way you turned me in your hands
