Artist/Band: Williams Lucinda Tabs
Song: Minneapolis Tab
Minneapolis by Lucinda Williams from the album World Without Tears
Intro G/G/G/G/G/G/G/G
G A
I’ve been waiting for you to come back
C G since you left Minneapolis
D
Snow covers the streetlamps and the
C
windowsills
G D C
The buildings and the brittle crooked trees
G D G
Dead leaves of December, thin skinned and
D
splintered
G D C
Never gotten used to this bitter winter
G A
I’ve been wasted angry and sad since you
C G
left Minneapolis
D
I wish my thoughts were pure like the
C
driven snow
G D
Like the heavens and the spring’s virgin
C
buds
G D G
But they strangled me with their sin, fill
D
me up with poison
G D C
Black clouds have covered up the sun again
G A C
I can always trace it back to that night in
G
Minneapolis
D C
Here on the seventh floor in a room I can’t
call mine
G D C
Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign
G D
Shaking and trembling
G D
On the clean white linen
G D
Slivers of starlight danced across the
C
ceiling
G A C
A dozen yellow roses all that’s left in
G
Minneapolis
D C
I wish I’d never seen your face or heard
your voice
G D C
You’re a bad pain in my gut, I wanna spit
you out
G D G
Open up this wound again, let my blood flow
D
red and thin
G D G D G
Into the glistening, into the whiteness
D C G
Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
[Thanks to Eddie Smith for tabs]
