Artist/Band: Lund Corb Tabs
Song: The Truth Comes Out Tab
[Em] the truth comes out as the fire burns low
[D] it comes to light as only embers glow
[C] the whiskey talks, the west wind moans in the night[Em] [D]
[Em] the deadfall's gathered and the branches are cut
[D] kindling crackles and the smoke curls up
[C] the small sticks catch then the bigger stuff will burn[Em] [D]
[Em] chinook dies down as the dark descends
[D] pine has burned, the ash has cleansed
[C] the message smolders, is lost, but finally sent[Em] [D]
[Em] connie says she's never seen the cougars so bold
[D] they're comin in the yard and they're stealin young colts
[C] they drag em in the brush with the claws sunk in their nose[Em] [D]
[Em] the weather's been funny thirty years or so
[D] the winters got warm, not as much snow
[C] hear the big cats comin cuz there's nowhere left to go[Em] [D]
[Em] you gotta look out for bear when you’re fishing on lee’s creek
[D] they’ll come round the bend and they’ll make your knees weak
[C] there’s grizzlies where there was no grizzly bears before[Em] [D]
[Em] half heard voices from the ghosts, from the graves
[D] the grandfathers tell us at the mouths of the caves
[C] only old chiefs older than jesus can save us now, if we're lucky[Em] [D]
[Em] white man light a big fire, stay cold
[D] the red man's warmer, but the old man's old
[C] the antelope seeks the buffalo in the night[Em] [D]
[C] the antelope mourns the buffalo in the night[G] [D]
