C F
There's a rainbow of babies
G C
Draped over the graveyard
F C
Where all the dead sailors
G
Wait for their brides
C
And the cold bitter snow
F C
Has strangled each grass blade
F C
Where the salt from their tears
G C
Washed out with the tide
Chorus:
F C
And I smiled on the Wabash
G C
The last time I passed it
F C
Yes I gave her a wink
G
From the passenger side
C
And my foot fell asleep
F C
As I swallowed my candy
F C
Knowing he was in heaven
G C
Before he died
C F
Now the harbor's on fire
G C
With the dreams and desires
F C
Of a thousand young poets
G
Who failed 'cause they tried
C
For a rhyme without reason
F C
Floats down to the bottom
F C
Where the scavengers eat 'em
G C
And wash in with the tide
Repeat Chorus:
C F
The sun can play tricks
G C
With your eyes on the highway
F C
The moon can lay sideways
G
Till the ocean stands still
C
But a person can't tell
F C
His best friend he loves him
F C
Till time has stopped breathing
G C
You're alone on the hill
Repeat Chorus:
