September Doves

The Lost Dog Street Band

 

Capo 2.

 

 

[Verse 1]

     G                                     Em

There was a very sacred place back where I grew

 G                                       Em

Between three old pine trees that nobody knew

      G                                                 Em

I'd close my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often do

            D                      C       G

But now I'm long gone, completely ruined

 

 G                                             Em

Darlin' you and I were made for many different things

    G                                             Em

To live and learn and lie and life, fight and dance and sing

         G                                                      Em

But our hearts have been so battered by the things that we have seen

           D                C                G

And I can feel it    in the way you look at me

 

 

[Chorus]

 D                          Em        C         G

   We could pick any old road and start      again

 D                               Em       C          G

   Hell, we could change our names and try to forget

  D                                    Em

 Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done

        G            Em              D           G

   But circumstances shot us down like September doves

    G            Em              D           G

   Circumstances shot us down like September doves

 

 

[Verse 2]

  G                                           Em

My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep

   G                                    Em

I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief

         G                                                    Em

Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap.

           D             C                G

I can't afford sleep anymore

 

    G                                              Em

And we were never made for love our souls are far too old

    G                                            Em

But loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs a home

    G                                     Em

So you will be the fire and I will be the coal

             D               C                G

Baby we can burn out of control

 

 

[Chorus]

 D                          Em        C    G

   We could pick any old road and start again

 D                               Em       C          G

   Hell, we could change our names and try to forget

  D                                    Em

 Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done

        G            Em              D           G

   But circumstances shot us down like September doves

    G            Em              D           G

   Circumstances shot us down like September doves
