The Handsome Family – Far From Any Road chords

(True Detective Soundtrack)


Am             E           Dm             AmFrom the dusty May sun her looming shadow grows

Am             E              Dm          AmHidden in the branches of the poison creosote

CShe twines her spines up slowly
  GTowards the boiling sun
    Dm And when I touched her skin
   FMy fingers ran with blood



Am             E            Dm             AmIn the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
Am             E                Dm               AmI came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom

    C                             GAnd strange hands halted me, the looming shadows danced
  Dm                                FI fell down to the thorny brush and felt the trembling hands



Am                  EWhen the last light warms the rocks
        Dm             AmAnd the rattlesnakes unfold
Am                 E       Dm             AmMountain cats will come to drag away your bones

    CAnd rise with me forever
 GAcross the silent sand
        DmAnd the stars will be your eyes
        FAnd the wind will be my hands
