Lyrics: Mountain Goats (The). Nine Black Poppies. Stars Fell On Alabama.

G D Cadd9 G
you looked real calm as we made our way up the walk

G D Cadd9 G
there were lazy kisses, hands brushing and small talk

G D Em C G D G
the moon was high, your smooth face was dry, and the kudzu grew

G D Cadd9 G
and the stars fell on alabama

G D G
and your eyes filled up with light

G D Em C G D G
and the stars fell on alabama



the warm earth underneath us gave way
dry grass crinkled like paper as a breeze came in across the bay
cold clean water nearby, glimmered in your eyes
and your pistol glistened.

and the stars fell on alabama
and your eyes filled up with light
and the stars fell on alabama

but if you think i'll take a bullet for you - you're dreaming
