The same pattern will be applied to the C chord in the verses.

Verse

G Deep inside the country, he went out for some air Amid an awful night of eating household objects on a dare C G A tea towel, a handful of refrigerator magnets, and a watch G He staggered through the mudroom, got sick out in the street The towel in tiny pieces, magnetic letters neat C G And now arranged in such a way that they should spell his lovers name And time was of the essence G The engine turning over, the summons in the shop He could not recall the number, but he knew it was a lot C His belly warm with drink G He leaned into the freeway in the night G Investigating exit ramps, waiting for a sign Scanning up the AM. band, sliding down the vine C He felt his stomach turn again and pulled off at the park G She was standing in the black oak, carving poems in the bark

Chorus

Verse 2

G Planted in the cafe, her bloodied saber drawn Marking up the manuscript, hard against the dawn C G She turns on the recorder and pulls a nervous breath before she speaks G "7 AM. Tuesday, January 9 Realizing this may put my career on the line" C The cafe man approaches, with a corded phone and tells her G "It's for you" G Somewhere in the static, a disembodied voice The circumstances changed, she will not have a choice C The line dies, crackles soft, then sputters back to life G (hold) "They found him at the black oak, they dug him up last night."
