G Portable television, shrouded in snow Am C/G In a raggedy van on the side of the road G The night it had frozen through my little bones Am C/G So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me And where we were going, it was built like a lie But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why C G/B I saw it in the soil just recently Am Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields G of infinite greed C G/B And here laid the father, and here stood the son Am Em Where the road meets the horizon for everyone, C for everyone Portable television, take us away From this burden of reflection we've carried today Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare You can simplify chords by removing barre
