The last track from Fred Eaglesmith's Indiana Road Album.
Problematic is the tuning. Best I can figure is that they have tuned to A=428 and then play in F.
Kinda ugly in F so I assume it is capoed - sounds like it's capoed at 5th fret and played in C shape
though i learned it first playing E shape caped first fret. It would be nice on a ukulele in F.
Beautiful 3/4 time song.
[Intro]
C F C F C G7 C
[Verse]
C F C F C G7 C
There's static on the radio where the lightning breaks the sky
F C F C G7 C
Makes it hard to sing-a-long no matter how I try
F C G G7
And I saw you dancing across the skyline tonight with somebody new
C F C F C G7 C C7
And you were singing the songs to him that I use to sing to you
[Chorus]
F G7 C
And it's twenty-five miles an hour
F C G G7
The rain dancing off of the old window screen
C F C F
I think I'm gonna miss you much more
C G C
Than you're ever gonna miss me
F C G C
E than you're ever gonna miss me
[Verse]
F C F C G7 C
I remember bright shiny lights two hearts burning on fire
F C F C G7 C
Brand new shirts on Saturday nights, I love you that never got tired
F C G G7
Quietly now, the tune gets lower, the old fiddle broke it's string
C F C F C G7 C C7
Finally you don't like the songs anymore and all you can change is the station
[Chorus]
F G7 C
And it's sixty-five miles an hour
F C G G7
The rain dancing off of the old window screen
C F C F
I think I'm gonna miss you much more
C G C
Than you're ever gonna miss me
F C G C
E than you're ever gonna miss me
[Verse]
F C F C G7 C
I got a friend - lives down by the river - likes to be alone
F C F C G7 C
Sometimes I wonder that he doesn't go crazy but it only goes to show
F C G7
And like the storm that rolled on with the stream they'll always stay the same
C F C F C G7 C C7
Somebody said with a tear in his eye "You're better off, anyway"
[Chorus]
F G7 C
And it's ninety-nine miles an hour
F C G G7
The rain dancing off of the old window screen
C F C F
I think I'm gonna miss you much more
C G C
Than you're ever gonna miss me
F C G C
E than you're ever gonna miss me
F C G C
E than you're ever gonna miss me
