Northbound 35 (by Richard Shindell)

NORTHBOUND 35


Capo II


(C)Northbound 3(G)5
Through the (Am)iron hills
Under (Fmaj7)infidel skies
It's (C)two hundred miles to (G)drive
You won't be (Am)home (Fmaj7)

(C)I saw an elsebound (G)train
On the (Am)overpass 
In the (Fmaj7)driving rain
Every (C)ticket costs the (G)same
For where you can't (Am)go (Fmaj7)

CHORUS: 
(G)Mustang (Fmaj7)horses, (C)champagne (G)glasses
(Am)Anything (Fmaj7)frail anything (C)wild (G) 
It’s the price of living (Fmaj7)motion
What's (C)beautiful is (G)broken
And (Am)grace is just the (Fmaj7)measure of a (C)fall (G)(Am)(Fmaj7)

(C)So I rolled into your (G)town
I (Am)passed the smokestacks 
And the (Fmaj7)ore docks down off of (C)Main
And the sky spun a(G)round
With her diamonds on (Am)fire (Fmaj7)

(C)We fought all night and then we (G)danced
In your (Am)kitchen
You were as (Fmaj7)much in my hands
As (C)water or darkness or (G)nothing
Can ever be (Am)held (Fmaj7)

CHORUS
It's just (C)flashes that we (G)own
Little (Am)snapshots 
Made of (Fmaj7)breath and of bone
And (C)out on the darkling plain a(G)lone
They light up the (Am)sky (Fmaj7)

(C)It's 51 and driving (G)south
Ain't it (Am)funny
