The Band - Across The Great Divide: chords

G        G/B                C
Standing by your window in pain,
G  G/B            C
a pistol in your hand
G     G/B            C
and i beg you, dear molly, girl,
D
Try and understand your man the best you can.

Chorus:
G                  A7
Across the great divide
       C                 Em        G
just grab your hat, and take that ride
 G              A7
Get yourself a bride
      C                 Em           G
and bring your children down to the river side.

I had a goal in my younger days,
I nearly wrote my will
But I changed my mind for the better
I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill

Chorus

G                C
Pinball machine, and a queen,
G                C
I nearly took a bust
G                 C
Tried to keep my hands to myself,
D
ya say it's a must, but who can ya trust?

Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky,
a weary sign for all
I'm gonna leave this one horse town,
had to stall till the fall

Now I'm gonna crawl, across the great divide

Now Molly dear, don't you shed a tear
Your time will surely come,
you'll feed your man chicken every Sunday
Now tell me, hon, what you done with the gun?

Chorus
