Cotton Chords

Intro: C - Gm - Dm - F
 
 
Verse 1:
 
C
   This song is for the rats
 
Gm
   Who hurled themselves into the ocean
 
          Dm                             F
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold
 
     C
Were just about to blow
 
 
Verse 2:
 
This song is for the soil
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock
Where no thing of consequence can grow
Drop your seeds there, let them go
 
 
Refrain:
 
             Am*  C  F  Am
Let them all go
 
            C       F  Am
Let 'em all go
 
 
Verse 3:
 
This song is for the people
Who tell their families that they're sorry
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for
 
And once there was a desk
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
I left in the top drawer
 
 
Interlude: C - F - Dm
 
 
Refrain:
 
Let 'em all go
Let 'em all go
 
 
Verse 4:
 
I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving
And something has got to give
 
 
Verse 5:
 
I saw you waiting by the roadside
You didn't know that I was watching
Now you know
Let it all go
 
 
Refrain:
 
Let 'em all go
Let it all go
 
 
Am*:
