Don't go into that barn

  {t:Don't Go Into That Barn}
{st:Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan}


[Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea
I Said [Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea

[Bm]Black cellophane sky at midnite
[Bm]Big blue moon with three gold rings
[Bm]I called Champion to the window
[Bm]And I pointed up above the trees
[Em]That's where I heard my name in a scream
[Em]Coming from the woods, out there
I [Bm]let my dog run [Bm]off the chain
I [Bm]locked my door real [Bm]good with a chair


[Em]Don't go into that barn, yea
I Said [Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea

[Bm]Everett Lee broke loose again
[Bm]Its worse than the time before
[Bm]Cause he's high on potato and tulip wine
[Bm]Fermented in the muddy rain of course
[Em]A drunken wail a drunk train
[Em]Blew through the birdless trees
Oh, you're [Bm]alone alright Your [Bm]alone alright
[Bm]How’d I know, How’d I [Bm]know


[Em]Don't go into that barn, yea
I said [Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea

[Bm]An old black tree Scratching up the sky
[Bm]With boney, claw like fingers
[Bm]A rusty black rake Digging up the turnips
[Bm]Of a muddy cold grey day
[Em]Shiny tooth talons Coiled for grabbing 
[Em]a stranger Happening by
And the [Bm]day when home early And the [Bm]sun sank down 
Into The [Bm]muck of a deep dead [Bm]sky


[Em]Don't go into that barn, yea
I said [Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea

[Bm]Back since Saginaw Calinda was born
[Bm]It's been cotton, soybeans, tobacco and corn
[Bm]Behind the porticoed house of a Long dead farm
[Bm]They found the falling down timbers Of a spooky old barn
[Em]Out there like a slave ship Upside down
[Em]Wrecked beneath the waves of a rain
When the [Bm]river is low They [Bm]find old bones and
When they [Bm]plow they always Dig up [Bm]chains


[Em]Don't go into that barn, yea
I Said [Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea

[Bm]Did you bury your fire? Yes sir
Did you cover your tracks? Yes sir
Did you bring your knife? Yes sir
Did they see your face? No sir
[Em]Did the moon see you? No sir
Did you go cross the river? Yes sir
[Bm]Did you fix your rake? Yes sir
Did you stay down wind? Yes sir
Did you hide your gun? Yes sir
Did you smuggle your rum? Yes sir
How did I know, How did I know, How did I know


[Em]Don't go into that barn, yea
[Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea
[Em]Don't forget that I warned you
[Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea
[Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea
[Bm]Don't go into that barn, yea


/"No shirt no coat
/Put me on a flat boat

/Down to Vicksburg to

/Flat boat Dover Dam
/To Covington, Covington to
/Louisville, Louisville to
