Cranes Of Potter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][Am][F][C][G]
[Gm]
[G]Claire

[Verse 1]
[G]was
[F]the mayor's dau[C]ghter
Knees [G]went weak when I [Am]saw her
We [F]tussled for a sum[C]mer
When I [G]walked in on her and Clyde
And [F]so she'd often [C]wander
[G]With every boy in Potter[Am]
Many [F]suitors died with hon[C]our
[G]In war between the states
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]And Cly[F]de was a cavalry man[C]
When he [G]got home to him, she [Am]ran
But he had [F]eyes for Western [C]Lands
[G]And left her behind
So [F]Claire settled [C]down
Her hus[G]band moved her
out [Am]of town
They [F]tried to lay [C]her past to rest
[G]Hung up those evening gow[C]ns

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][Am][F][C]
[G][Gm]
[G]Now Jeremi

[Verse 3]
[F]ah was a log[C]ger
We all [G]knew he's off his rock[Am]er
Thought [F]Claire to be his [C]lover[G]
Much to her surprise
Her [F]children loved their [C]mother
To[G]wards their father she
grew [Am]fonder
Her [F]hair just turned [C]blonder
Beau[G]ty stood the test of time
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Then [F]word got [C]around
[G]That Clyde was back in tow[Am]n
By [F]a way of manifest [C]destiny
He [G]had gained himself renown
In [F]the year seventy-five
[C]Ten Ten [G]years after Lincoln [Am]died
Claire [F]kissed the kids goodnight
[C]Snuck off[G] to meet her old friend
Cly[C]de

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][F][C][G][Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 5]
Now Jeremi[F]ah saw that [C]chance
His own [G]twisted sick ro[Am]mance
[F]Denying his ad[C]vances
Claire [G]was never seen alive
He [F]hung for what he'd [C]done
[G]We caught him bloody with his [Am]gun
He never [F]told us where she [C]lay
But I [G]know that Claire would [C]run

[Interlude 3]
[C][G][F][C][G][Am][F][C]
[G][E][Am][F]
[C][E][Am][F][C][Am][G]
[C][G][F][C][G][C]
We [G]never found

[Verse 6]
[F]that girl from Pot[C]ter
[G]Who'd so often wan[Am]der
Till [F]more than a century [C]later
A build[G]er found her in the ground
Be[F]neath the cranes of Pot[C]ter
[G]Where Jeremiah sho[Am]t her
There [F]lies the mayor's [C]daughter[G]
Two feet down be[F]neath
the cranes of Pot[C]ter
[G]Hair no longer blo[Am]nder
Be[F]neath the cranes of Pot[C]ter
In [G]her finest evening gown
