Far From Any Road - The Handsome Family | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
Am

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am               E
From the dusty mesa
    Dm                  Am
Her looming shadow grows
                  E              Dm          Am
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
          C
She twines her spines up slowly
       G
Towards the boiling sun
    Dm
And when I touched her skin
   F                     Am
My fingers ran with blood

[Bridge]
---------------------
Am

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Am                 E        Dm                 Am
In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
               E                Dm                    Am
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    C                              G
And strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced
  Dm                                F                    Am
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand



[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am                  E
When the last light warms the rocks
    Dm                 Am
And the rattlesnakes unfold
                       E   Dm                  Am
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    C
And rise with me forever
  G
Across the silent sand
        Dm
And the stars will be your eyes
        F
And the wind will be my hands

[Outro]
---------------------
Am
