[Intro]
Dm C Am C Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm C Am
Early in the fall, back deep in the woods
C Dm
The first hint of frost is upon you
C Am
About a mile beyond a field's stone wall
C Dm
It's not hard to get lost if you want to
Dm C Am
Too far from the city to see the white lights
C Dm
I move in the shadows under cover of night
C Am
Too far from the highway to blow a flat tire
C Dm
So I stare at the ashes and fire
[Instrumental]
Dm C Am C Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm C Am
Well John St. Paul is a well-known man
C Dm
Of wealth in his skyscraper palace
C Am
He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives
C Dm
I don't like how he looks at my Alice
Dm C Am
I work his garage with wrench in my glove
C Dm
Bring the stench of his gasoline home to my love
C Am
She swears once again she has all she desires
C Dm
As I stare at the ashes and fire
[Instrumental]
Dm C Am C Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm C Am
One day late last week when I got the word
C Dm
The boss needs his Caddy all steady
C Am
I remembered his eyes all over my wife
C Dm
As I carefully got my tools ready
Dm C Am
What a terrible shame should he ever break down
C Dm
With me on his trail and so far from town
C Am
If his brakes were to fail, if he blew out a tire
C Dm
And I stared in the ashes and fire
[Instrumental]
Dm C Am C Dm
[Outro]
Dm C Am
Now John St. Paul is a well-known man
C Dm
Of wealth in his skyscraper palace
C Am
He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives
C Dm
I don't like how he looks at my Alice
C Dm
I don't like how he looks at my Alice

Chord progression sounds good to me. Fun little song to play. Thanks! I just have a couple corrections in the lyrics. In verse 2 you have a typo it looks like, it should read "I work his garage with a wrench in my glove". And verse 3 I believe he sings "One day late last week when I got the word".
