Everybodys Hurting

C#m                                      E
Been walking the dirt floor, my eyes are open Lord
          A                    G#m
Where did you go, have we just left you bored?
C#m                 E
On down this unholy well we rolled
         A               G#m
Stirring barrels in hell to be warm


             A                  E
It's further back down than the high ground
               B               E
Ain't milk and honey, we're movin' round
     A            E
Only one thing is certain
       B
That's everybody
            C#m        C#m
Everybody's hurting


C#m                                E
We come from the country where the rain follows plow
        A                           G#m
And the evenings are cold enough to pluck your feathers out
C#m                  E                A
We hear your engines roaring deep and loud
                             G#m
As we work the mules on this bludgeoned ground


A                  E
We've hunted these hills dry
              B                         E
We've long outlasted the winter and our last wood pile
     A            E
Only one thing is certain
       B
That's everybody
            C#m
Everybody's hurting


A                        A
Through rolling acres of boneyards we drift
    E                         E
Our spirits' been broken been splintered to bits
A                               A
Faith is believing what you see ain't so
G#m                                 G#m
My sweetheart we've got to learn to live with these ghosts
G#m               G#m
They can't leave; we can't...

A   E   B   E
go...

A   E   B   C#m


C#m                         E
We'd sell this valley if we could go north
          A                 G#m
Where the sun sets dripping buckets of gold
C#m                                  E
Through snow topped thunderheads and rows of wind clouds
A                                   G#m
Coming down this mountain how sweet salvation sounds


         A                    E
With our hands out like lowly pilgrims
       B                        E
As the old men death salute the young ones in
        A                    E
Already know what we're just learning
       B
That's everybody
            C#m         C#m
Everybody's hurting
