BRUISED ORANGE (CHAIN OF SORROW)
John Prine - A (Capo 2)
G
My heart's in the ice house come hill or come valley
C
Like a long ago Sunday when I walked thru the alley
G D G
On a cold winter's morning to a church house just to shovel some snow
G
I heard sirens on the train track, howl naked gettin' nuder
C
An altar boy's been hit by a local commuter
G D G
Just from walking with his back turned to the train that was coming so slow
Chorus
C
You can gaze out the window, get mad and get madder
G
Throw your hands in the air, say what does it matter
D G
But, it don't do no good to get angry, so help me I know
C
For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter
G
You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
D G
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own chain of sorrow
G
I been brought down to zero, pulled out and put back there
C
I sat on a park bench, kissed the girl with the black hair
G D
And my head shouted down to my heart you better look out below
G
Hey, it ain't such a long drop, don't stammer, don't stutter
C D
From the diamonds in the sidewalk to the dirt in the gutter
G
And you carry those bruises to remind you wherever you go
Chorus
