Idaho

chords guessed by Matt Rowley  :)


Capo 1


Em                       
All that love all those mistakes 
                         G
What else can a poor man make? 
                        C
So I gave up a life of crime 
                         G
I gave it to a friend of mine 
                         C
Something else was on my mind 
                           G
The only ghost I'm haunted by 
                         Em
I hear her howling down below 
C        G
Idaho oh Idaho


E
Wolves oh wolves oh canšt you see? 
                        G
Ain't no wolf can sing like me 
                       C
And if it could then I suppose 
              G
He belongs in Idaho 
                   C
Packs of dogs and cigarettes 
                                 G
For those who ain't done packing yet 
                                    Em
My clothes are packed and I want to go 
C          G
Idaho oh Idaho


Em
Out at sea for seven years 
                      G
I got your letter in Tangiers
                           C
Thought that I'd been on a boat 
                            G
'Til that single word you wrote 
                               C
That single word it landlocked me 
                            G
Turned the masts to cedar trees 
                         Em
And the wind to gravel roads 
C        G
Idaho oh Idaho 

                           Em
Turned the wind to gravel roads 
C        G
Idaho oh Idaho 


* Not entire sure about the C on the "Idaho oh Idaho"
  line.  It might just be G throughout the line.
  Also, when going from G -> Em, step down via F#
  on the 6 string as you pick.  Pretty sure that's
  what Josh is doing.
