[Bb]
[Gm]All I left behind should [Eb]come as no surpr[Bb]ise
[F]To me since I fell through the black hole of your [Bb]eye
[Gm]Only little things inco[Eb]nsequential I could [Bb]say
[F]Of all I left behind with you along the lost hig[Bb]hway
[F]Silver earrings in [Bb]Wichita
[F]Beaded moccasins in [Bb]Tonapah
But I had you [F]so
I just let them [Bb]go
[Gm]The flannel shirt I wore to [Eb]keep me from the [Bb]cold
[F]When we drove from Boston all the way to[Bb] Buffalo
[Gm]The leather boots I bought so [Eb]many miles a[Bb]go
[F]I took them off to follow you into the [Bb]Ohio
[F]Never did my armor [Bb]feel so thin
[F]Silk was all I had between me a[Bb]nd your skin
Like water[F]loo I lost that [Bb]too
[F]And the gold bracelet with my fathers [Bb]name inscribed
On the [F]back by the one who loved him [Bb]all her life
The way I [F]too could have loved [Bb]you
[Gm]The spanish shawl I put [Eb]across the broken [Bb]shade
[F]Of the lamp that lit the room
That last night near Cour d'[Bb]Alene
[Gm]Only little things inconseq[Eb]uential I could s[Bb]ay
[F]Of all I left behind with you along the lost hig[Bb]hway
[F]Of all I left beh[Bb]ind
