STARKVILLE (Amy Ray)
----------
capo on the 6th fret! (very cool song and pretty much easy to play. it's quite the
same chords progression through the song entirely).
Am F (x2)
Am
If you were here in starkville
F Am
Towny boys would love the way you stare
Am
If you were here in starkville
F Am
Well the local girls they wouldn't have a prayer
Am F
Well I've spent a reckless night inside the wonder
Am
of your everlasting charm
Am F
Now I'm haunted by geography and the flora
Am
And the fauna of your heart

At the dawning of some road worn day
F G
I call you on a whim just to say
Am
The morning birds are singing
F C
But I could not do them justice
G Am
So I hung up and I fell back to sleep
But I'm in love with my mobility
Oh sometimes this life can be a drag
Like when I notice your nobility
And how my leaving
It only held you back
But I remember one occassion
When you were drinking
And you asked me to the coast
But I was hell bent on agony back then
And so I missed the boat
At the dawning of some road worn day
I call you on a whim just to say
My regrets become distractions
And I cannot do them justice
And I hung up and I fell back to sleep
When I was down in starkville
I was hiding out inside some comfort inn
From a local gang of troubadours
When the homecoming queen
She come ridin in
(oooh)
Yeah
Yeah but I slipped out of my room into the rain
(oooh)
And I went running for my health
(oooh)
I watched those headlights turn to moonlight
And finally I was running by myself
Now its the dawning of some road worn day
And I call you on a whim just to say
