Whiskeytown - Jacksonvile Skyline guitar chord

whiskeytown

song: jacksonville skyline

album: Pneumonia

Verse:

G

Well the banks of the river went through my hometown

G C

Born on the dirt roads, and I scraped my knees

G

Well they packed the roads eventually

G C

With neon signs and car dealerships and diners

Chorus:

D Em C

The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends

D Em C D G

I saw the pretty women as I walked through town

Verses 2&3:

I moved away soon as I turned sixteen

Figured I was old enough to go and work a job

Well I flooded down mainstreet pools of carlights

Overcame me wishin' I was still back home

Jacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight

Seems like your lucky if it ever changes red to green

I was born in abundance of inherited sadness

With a 50 cent picture frame bought at a five and dime

Final chorus(chords same as the first):

I ended up a soldier on the weekend

Looking for a vacancy I wasn't able to find

Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket

I shoot it with my capgun just to make it

seem like stars
