Rodney Crowell - Earthbound guitar chord

Earthbound

By Rodney Crowell

G Em

I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye I could fly, fly, fly

G Em

Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay my head down on the track and die, die, die

C G

My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it

Bm D

I must admit I've made out like a bandit

G Em

Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine drinkin wine, wine, wine

G Em

Said fifty years of livin and your worst mistakes forgiven just take time, time, time

C G

One man's lust for life brings world reknown

Bm D G

And the next guy can't get two feet off the ground, he’s earthbound

Chorus 1:

Em

Earthbound, hear the wind through the tops of the trees

G

Earthbound, summer sun nearly ninety degrees

Em

Earthbound, big ol' moon sinking down

D G

Think I might stick around, I’m earthbound

I knew love once way back when she had almond eyes and olive skin and long black hair

She was Irish Spanish mixbreed I was southeast Texas hayseed, we were almost there

Her daddy didn't like my kind around

True love took the next train out of town, earthbound

Chorus 2:

Earthbound, where there's fathers and daughters in pain

Earthbound, mama's boy walking home in the rain

Earthbound, like a ship run aground

Think I might stick around, I’m earthbound

Solo

With each new day that passes I'm in need of thicker glasses but it's all OK

Someday I'll be leaving but I just can't help believing that it's not today

Every golden moment I have found

I've done my best to run right in the ground, earthbound

Chorus 3:

Earthbound, see the sky big and beautiful blue

Earthbound, fallen angels are talkin' to you

Earthbound, keepin' close to the ground think I might stick around

Eathbound

Chorus 4:

Earthbound, Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr

Earthbound, Walter Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr

Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown think I might stick around

I’m earthbound
