Yuma chords by Justin Townes Earle


Justin Townes Earle Chords

Capo 5

C
Well he woke up that morning and he called into work
Put on his daddy's old suit with a second hand shirt
    F
all untucked, shoes untied
C
The people all snickered as he walked by. 
      F
So he stopped in a bar,
                             C
bought a shot of Stevens and another.
   F
He bummed a cigarette 
                                         C
and set talking to a stranger about the weather. 
            Am
And then he paid his bill and 
   G                 C                F
he stepped outside, fell down into the street. 
    C
He cursed, and he cried
        G                   F           G
as he climbed back up his feet again.


C
So up the road he found a payphone and called his mom. 
He said, momma I think I'll be coming back home.
       F
I been feeling so bad, and tired of this city. 
C                                          F
Ain't been the same since I lost my pretty Angeline. 
                    C
Momma I miss her so.
          F                                                     C
It's been over a year and there ain't nothing I fear so much as being alone.
            Am                               G 
And then he hung up the phone without saying good bye.
C                               F
Stopped in a store and bought a postcard and signed it,
C                   G            F        G
Fair thee well, and sent it back home to Yuma. 

Am              G
Lookin back I'd say, 
F                     C
it wasn't so much the girl. 
F             C
As it was the booze and the dope 
         G
and the way he took the weight of the world 
                   Am
up upon his shoulders.
             F 
And when he washed the blue from his eyes, 
           C
as he grew colder. 
             F                 G              
As through all those lonely nights there left alone. 


C C/B Am G


C
So he was just 23 when he stepped out on that ledge. 
It was his weary heart that pushed him to the edge. 
       F
He was tired of living life, looking for love.
C 
A weary heart just needs a little touch. 
          F                                                C
And is it too much to ask, he cried as he stepped into the wind.
              F                                             C
He turned his back onto the world and he fell back to earth again.
            Am                    G 
So with the wind in his hair, and smile on his face, 
C                                 F
he crashed through the hood of an Old's 98, 
       C                    G
and he lay there dying on a cold winters day 
F        G    C
all alone, all alone.
