Em G A B C Em x3
[Verse 1]
Em A
The handing down, the handing down
C Em
Maybe the truth will not be shown
Em G A
And the dark will just roll on and on
C
Roll
[verse 2]
Em G A
O three rivers where's that star you once
C Em
Held above my faded dreams
Em G A
Heart worn more than some I guess
C Em
But I'm still holding at the seams
A C Em
Still holding at the seams.
[verse 3]
Em G A
Scarecrow holds an hourglass
C Em
Above the cross roads for me
Em G A
Filled with tears and twilight
C Em
From a friend's dying day
Em G A
Here's a turkey feather for his favourite hat
C Em
And a love letter from the ace of spades
A C Em
A love letter from the ace of spades

[Verse 4]
Em G A
An anchor in the crown
C Em
Of Queen Anne's lace and chicory
Em G A
A charm, a charm to drive away
C Em
All the heartaches I gave
Em G A
All the goodbyes and the 'I love you's
C Em
I said but not in time
Em G A
But mine is the heart of lonesome pine
C Em
And the choices weren't always mine
A C Em
The choices weren't always mine
