Red Tide

Bm
There’s a smell here that stands my hairs on end
 G                       Em
Dog hair in the heater, gas pumps and cedar
    Bm
And jacknives on the nine
    G                  Em
and seabirds choked on fishing line

Bm G Em7 x2

Bm
Clouds say hush but the chainsaws mush on
G              Em
to Custer and Columbia
Bm                                        G
Salty tentacles shrink in the sun but the red tide is over
    Em
The mollusks they have won

Bm G Em7 x4

Bm
There’s a smell here of gravel and cigarettes lit
         G
When the match made them sweet
         Em                     G
When the engine turned over and beat up our street
    Bm
Oh, that was the day
   D
To remember

  D
I remember because of the fires that leapt
         G
From the caves of the things that have not happened yet
       Bm                                     A     add Ab
When I think of it now they smell to me quite sinister
  D
I want to go back and die at the drive in
G
Die before strangers can say
D          G
I hate the rain
D          G
I hate the rain
