Monster Ballads by Josh Ritter -Monster Ballads- -Josh Ritter- ----------------- Capo 3 G C G Radio waves are coming miles and miles C G Bringing only empty boats C G Whatever feeling they had when they sailed C G Somehow slipped out between the notes Em C G Out on the desert and feeling lost Em C G The bonnet wears a wire albatross Em C G Monster ballads and the stations of the cross D C Sighing just a little bit D C Sighing just a little bit And I was thinking 'bout what Katy done Thinking 'bout what Katy did The fairest daughter of the Pharoah's son Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing just a little bit C Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise G D And when you're empty there's so much space for them C You turn it off but then a still, small voice G D Comes in blazing from some vast horizon [piano solo] And I was thinking 'bout my river days And I was thinking 'bout me and Jim Passing cairo on a getaway With every steamboat like a hymn Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit D C Smiling just a little bit www.TAB6.com
