Autumn on the Maine coast, Mary-Ann was closing windows
C Em
Talking to herself yeah she lived alone
Dm7 Am
Looking at her fields now, she steps outside of the farmhouse
C Em
Every year a little less eager to grow
Dm7 G
Those fields were born on a wild soul,
Am
still a fraction of a balanced whole
D F
Oh but control belonged in the hands of the oilmen now
[Chorus]
Am G D
Oh there's a trouble comin' in,
F Am G
it's got my heart in a murmuring state
Am C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
F Am G Am
That I'll be here to watch it fade, to watch it fade
G F
Oooo oooo ooooh
Dm7 Am
They were dancing in Havana, celebrating quinceñera
C Em
Speaking softly by the radio
Dm7 Am
Some believed that they could wait it out, others felt only a growing doubt
C Em
But few perceived the October storm
Dm7 G
Outside there was a rustle in the oak leaves
Am
There was a frost that was starting to heave
D F
So many more at home, singing their kids to sleep
[Repeat Chorus]
Dm7 Am
Jefferey built a gravestone, for the summer when he made known
C Em
Money it was gonna get tight for him
Dm7 Am
It was harder than he lot on, but you could say that he'd been betting on
C Em
The lesser horse, time and again
Dm7 G
Still he remembered when his kid was born
Am
He remembered how the air was warm
D F
But most of all, he thought about the task at hand
Am G D
Oh there's a trouble comin' in,
F Am G
it's got my heart in a murmuring state
Am C
Where must I fix my eyes to know
F Am G
That I'll be here to watch it fade, oh
Am G F
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
Am G F
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
Am G Am
Trouble comin' in my heart's in a murmuring state
G F
Oooo oooo ooooh
