Intro: verse 1 chords: It's New Year's Eve and California's gonna kill you soon The Barstow boys buckeyes in the shadow of the moon verse 2 chords: Black houses in the hill and roadside hearts Dying for a place to fall apart Who knew what you could learn to live without Mother Mary's lying in your mouth Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine and every girl has got an axe to grind You left to look for heaven But you're far from that hard light tonight Interlude: verse 3: use verse 1 chords So quietly we've lost another year the desert put a babbler in your ear mean firewood and I miss you again Barstow boys are spit into the wind Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine and every girl has got an axe to grind You left to look for heaven But you're far from that hard light tonight
