Williams Lucinda - Minneapolis guitar tab

Minneapolis by Lucinda Williams from the album World Without Tears

Intro G/G/G/G/G/G/G/G

G A

I’ve been waiting for you to come back

C G since you left Minneapolis

D

Snow covers the streetlamps and the

C

windowsills

G D C

The buildings and the brittle crooked trees

G D G

Dead leaves of December, thin skinned and

D

splintered

G D C

Never gotten used to this bitter winter

G A

I’ve been wasted angry and sad since you

C G

left Minneapolis

D

I wish my thoughts were pure like the

C

driven snow

G D

Like the heavens and the spring’s virgin

C

buds

G D G

But they strangled me with their sin, fill

D

me up with poison

G D C

Black clouds have covered up the sun again

G A C

I can always trace it back to that night in

G

Minneapolis

D C

Here on the seventh floor in a room I can’t

call mine

G D C

Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign

G D

Shaking and trembling

G D

On the clean white linen

G D

Slivers of starlight danced across the

C

ceiling

G A C

A dozen yellow roses all that’s left in

G

Minneapolis

D C

I wish I’d never seen your face or heard

your voice

G D C

You’re a bad pain in my gut, I wanna spit

you out

G D G

Open up this wound again, let my blood flow

D

red and thin

G D G D G

Into the glistening, into the whiteness

D C G

Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
