She was running... with a shotgun... I could hear the sirens
E A
but I couldn’t move... I couldn’t even catch my breath

She was hiding... in the patterns... of her mother’s apron
E A
When I left that girl... she was just a little thing
F#m D A
But the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over
F#m D A
It’s another day gone I’m another year older
E D A
Desolation, lonesome lonely desolation
A D
I was seeking... understanding... they took a 14-year-old boy
E A
Yeah, they locked him up... they tried to turn him into a man
A D
She told me what I need is... absolution... I said “Absolution girl?
E A
Come on now... that’s gonna be hard to arrange”
