A        G           D                            A
   I got you, you've got whatever's left of me to get
A                             G           D                                     A
   Our conversations are like minefields; no one's found a safe way through one yet
A                   G       D                  A
   I spend a lot of money,     I buy you white gold
A                       G    D             E
   We raise up a little roof   against the cold
                 A            A D
On Southwood Plantation Road
         A                         D
Where at night the stars flow like milk across the sky
A                      E
   Where the highwires drop
A                      D       Dm
   Where the fat crows fly

A            G     D                 A
   All night long,    you giggle and scream
A             G    D             A
   Your brown eyes deeper than a dream
A                    G         D                       A
   I am not going to lose you;    we are going to stay married in this
A                     G           D                       E
house like a Louisiana graveyard      where nothing stays buried

                 A            A D
On Southwood Plantation Road
A                           D
   Where the dead will walk again
A                     E
   Put on your Sunday best
A                           D
   And go with unsuspecting Christian men
Dm
La la la la la
