Max Stalling - Run guitar chord

Bass Run

By Max Stalling

C G D G

Every once in awhile, I do drift homewards

C G D

Sometimes I drive, sometimes I just dream

C G D G

400 miles in six hard pushing hours

C G D

To check on a life that is just out of reach

C G D G

I think of a child sleeping by open windows

C G D

Two miles away there's this bar on a hill

C G D G

Playing conjunto into the small hours

C G D

It drifts cross the plowed fields and his window sill

Chorus:

G C G D

I like the sound of a Mexican bass run

G C G D

I like the feel that it puts in my bones

G C G D

Sometimes I wonder how I ever got here

G C D

I'm just trying to get home

I traded rattlers and scorpions for roaches

And wide open spaces for a job that pays good

Now as I sit here in Traffic in Stressville

I wonder if I'm being paid what I should

Chorus

I think of a girl and I can see her face plain

Dark eyes in moonlight but her name just escapes

You never forget the feel of the first time

Does it suprise you to hear me say?

Chorus

I've got this friend he's a lawyer in Dallas

His folks grow potatoes out panhandle way

He talks of Bob Wills and Playboys and Turkeys

Off come his wing tips and boots take their place

He likes the sound of a Mexican bass run

I like the feel that it puts in my bones

Sometimes I wonder how I ever got here

I'm just trying to get home

We like the sound of a bass run

We like the feel that it puts in our bones

Sometimes we wonder how we got here

How the hell are we gonna get home?
