Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
Am                                  E7
with a little drop of poison in the red, red blood
Am                                Dm
She need a way to turn around the bend
           Dm7            C            E7     Am
She said I want to walk away and start over again.

There are things I've done I can't erase
Am                                E7
I want to look in the mirror, see another face
Am                          Dm
I said never would I do it again
  Dm7            C         E7     Am
I want to walk away, start over again.

Dm      Am
No more rain
E7      Am
No more roses
Dm    Am   C                    E7
On my way, shake my thirst in a cool, cool pond.

Am
There is a widower in every place
Am                                  E7
There is a heart that's beating in every page
Am                                Dm
The beginning of it starts at the end
          Dm7            C            E7     Am
When it's time to walk away and start over again.

Weather is murder at a hundred and three
Am                        E7
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
Am                             Dm
A yellow dog knows when he has sinne
    Dm7            C         E7     Am
You want to walk away and start over again.

Dm      Am
No more rain

No more roses

On my way, shake my thirst in a cool, cool pond.

Cooper told Maui the whole block is gone
Am                                    E7
They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
Am                                  Dm
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
  Dm7            C         E7     Am
I want to walk away, start over again.

I left my bible by the side of the road
Am                               E7
Carve my initials in an old dead tree
Am                                      Dm
I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
     Dm7            C         E7     Am
It's time to walk away and start over again.
