Intro
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – –
Verse 1
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – – x2
Well I drink down the whiskey let the smoke bite my lungs with a ratchet in my soul and from their fingers and their tongues
We will never stick together with a wrench inside my heart we're behind where we were, we were from the start
And I will never understand why they long to use those hands with a clock ticking forward pointing to the promised lands
A ticker tape parade, a forty piece band, the stocks they might crash but the weak they still stand

Pre-Chorus 1
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – –
Chorus 1
Bm – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – – x2
And here's farewell, to old Kentucky, it's farewell to old Colorado
I'm going where the wind ain't blowing I'm goin gwhere that old north wind don't blow

Pre-Verse 2
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – –
Verse 2
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – – x2
So I jump into the well just to spite the water, now the whiskey is poisoned, we should've fought harder
But my hindsight is blind, my foresight is blurry, I hope the four horsemen come on down with all of heaven's fury
... ... But that apathy slowly seeps into my heart we're behind where we were, where we were from the start

Pre-Chorus 2
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – –
Chorus 2
Bm – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – – x2
And here's farewell, to old Kentucky, it's farewell to old Colorado
I'm going where the wind ain't blowing I'm goin gwhere that old north wind don't blow

Pre-Verse 3
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – –
Verse 3
Em – – – D – – – B7 – C B7 Em – – – x2
So now I wonder 'round the country with my pockets full of sand, I'll tear down the wall when I'm dealt the right hand
But united we fall, divided we stand, she can't tell the difference between her friends and her fans
But lady liberty, is waving a white flag so put all of your belongings in a black plastic trash bag
And walk into the sunset, fall off the edge of the Earth
