Loboito - Jared Mees
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lyrics to this song aren't posted online that I know of. I've omitted
the phrases I absolutely don't know, but most of them are present and
accurate to the best of my knowledge.
Tuning: Standard
C Em
One time in ten things will perfectly mend
F Am G
And the moonlight on the porch screen will so perfectly bend
F G C Am
And you'll bow like a flower and be OK without her
F G C
As your holiday crescendo begins
C Am
Christmas came one thousand times each year
F G
Once on the twenty-fifth, the rest when she was near
C Am
And you could lose yourself in all that coke and beer
F G C Am F G
But you always came out smelling like a rose when she was close
C Em
"Hold me," she says, her hair is a mess
F Am G
But her eyes glow like embers so you draw close and press

F G C Am
Her photo to your face, feel its glossy embrace
F G C

C Am
But it's so windy in the aspen groves
F G
Driving the wildfire west, (????????)
C Am
Making your heaving chest open and close
F G C Am F G
You know things only glow when they're broken and lonely
C Em
So then you're there on the beach while she was still in reach
F Am G
She was the type of girl who'd make a pastor want to preach
F G C Am
Of brimstone and grails, of the blood on the nails
F G C
Of stained hair and bathtubs full of bleach
C Am
You're on the Greyhound bus watching the South get small
F G
Beeline for Canada, escape the (???????)
C Am
'Cause when the leaves catch fire you wait for ghosts to call
F G
Disconnect the phone
C
Get the hell out of this hell you once called home
(repeat C-Am-F-G a few times, end on C.)
