Emily White - Arkansas
INTRO: C Em C D
G
Well, the flags are all at half-mast
C
We don't have to ask
Em D
We've all got our own reasons why these days
G C
And the men in the vinyl diner seats
Em
They got their hands clasped so tightly
D G C Em C D G
Sending their prayers up to the father above
C
I used to know that father well
Em
And then some say that I fell
D
And I guess I've got the scars to prove 'em right
G C
There's a sign at the end of that road
Em
Says it's as far as cars can go
D G C Em C D C
And if you wanna go any further, you are gonna have to walk
CHORUS:
Am
Some people walk and some people ride
F G
Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven
C Am
The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight
F G C Em C D G
And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there alright
There's a billboard from Jesus
C
On the way to New Orleans
Em D
And the billboard from Jesus says that it's for lease
G
Well, he might just be bones and dust
C
And the thing that saved my life
Em D G C Em C D C
I got a brother looking out for me on the angels' side
CHORUS:
Am
Some people walk and some people ride
F G
Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven
C Am
The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight
F G C Em C D G C G
And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there alright
C
Today we learned the truth too late
Em
We reminded ourselves not to hesitate
D G
Held on a little tighter to the ones that we've still got
C
And I held my guitar like a life raft
Em
Holding me up in the mine shaft
D G
Digging up a dream I still believe
BRIDGE:
C Am F G
Oh, I think it's gonna be alright, alright, al--right
C Am F G C
Oh, I think it's gonna be alright, alright, al--right
CHORUS:
