Land Locked Blues Chords

Capo 3rd
3/4 time
 
    C              G           C
If you walk away, I'll walk away
        C           G               C
First tell me which road you will take
   Am           G              C             Am
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
    C                  G              C
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
 
        C            G        C
And the future hangs over our heads
        C              G           C
And it moves with each current event
         Am           G            C            Am
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
          C            G             C
Just stay in when it's looking this way
 
          C            G          C
And the moon's laying low in the sky
         C          G         C
Forcing everything metal to shine
        Am              G                  C            Am
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
           C                G             C
They argue walk this way, no, walk this way
 
      C         G          C
And Laura's asleep in my bed
        C           G            C
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
                    Am        G         C            Am
"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
      C            G      C
Baby don't go away, come here"
 
             C            G             C
And there's kids playing guns in the street
         C               G           C
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
     Am           G         C             Am
So I put my hands up I say "enough is enough,
    C            G             C
If you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead
 
C7
 
Am          G      C
  I found a liquid cure
Am         G          C
  From my landlocked blues
        F     G         C       Am
It'll pass away like a slow parade
       C             G              C
It's leaving but I don't know how soon

           C            G       C
And the world's got me dizzy again
                C     G          C
You think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
       Am         G            C             Am
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
               C               G          C
So I'm always pacing around or walking away
 
        C            G           C
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
        C          G                C
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
       Am        G            C        Am
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
       C               G          C
If you love something, give it away
 
       C           G          C
A good woman will pick you apart
      C            G               C
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
        Am        G              C         Am
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
     C              G              C
But don't walk away, don't walk away
 
        C           G             C
We made love on the living room floor
          C            G              C
With the noise in the background of a televised war
           Am        G                    C              Am
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
    C             G                C
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"
 
     C          G          C
But greed is a bottomless pit
        C           G                C
And our freedom's a joke we're just taking a piss
        Am               G             C          Am
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
          C                G          C
If you're still free start running away
Cause we're coming for you!

           C        G               C
I've grown tired of holding this pose
        C          G              C
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
       Am       G             C         Am
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
        C                G       C
Saying "let me walk away, please"
 
          C          G             C
You'll be free child once you have died
          C           G                C
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
              Am         G          C         Am
And then we can trade places, play musical grace
           C        G        C
Till then walk away, walk away
 
C7
 
Am        G      C
   So I'm up at dawn
Am         G      C
   Putting on my shoes
        F      G       C        Am
I just want to make a clean escape
     C            G                C
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
           C             G                C
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
