Patty Loveless - From Your Knees (w/matt King) guitar chord

FROM YOUR KNEES

Matt King / Patty Loveless

From the CD "Hard Country"

INTRO

He (C) tore down the work of 17 years

Brick by brick and (G) stone by (C) stone

No hammer was swingin', cause cheatin' and drinkin'

Don't (G) need no help wreckin' a home

Aww, but (C) when he came back to the dust and the rubble

Of what he has once called his (F) life

He dropped to his knees, in (C) sheer disbelief

At the (G) total destruction in (C) sight

There were (C) empty closests and (G) empty drawers

And a (C) tear-stained note on the (F) kitchen floor

And (C) burning memories, in the fire(G)place (G7)

He (C) waited too late to (G) say he was wrong

His (C) house was still standing, but his (F) home was gone

Brother (C) you would (E) not be(Am)lieve (D)

(F) What you can (G) see from your (C) knees

Fiddle Solo

(C) Right then and there, in an old sinner's prayer

He told things he (G) kept in the (C) dark

There was no use in lying, 'cause the man who was listenin'

Could (G) see every room in his heart

Well, he took (C) empty whiskey bottles, little black book and all

To the fire she left on the (F) grate

Sometimes a man will (C) change on his own

(G) Sometimes - I tell you, it (C) takes

(C) Empty closests and (G) empty drawers

And a (C) tearful confession on the (F) kitchen floor

And (C) burning memories, in the fire(G)place (G7)

He (C) waited too late to (G) say he was wrong

His (C) house was still standing, he'd (F) fight for his home

Brother (C) you would (E) not be(Am)lieve (D)

Brother (C) you would (E) not be(Am)lieve (Dsus) (D)

(F) What you can (G) see from your (C) knees
