When Walter Went Crazy Chords

Post by LastLawson »

Thanks to Smitty for writing out the lyrics.
Tuned down a full step.

G Em
When Walter went crazy,
D C
She was sitting on the couch
G Em D C
Painting her toenails, drinking a Tab
G Em D C
He walked out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth
G Em D C
He poured gasoline in a circle all around the house

G Em
When Walter went crazy,
D C
He had rattlesnake in his eyes
G Em D C
Blended whiskey in his veins, murder in his heart
G Em D C
She watched him walk out the door and knew that he was gone
G Em D C
Matlock on the TV and her mama on the phone

D
When Walter went crazy
C Em
They say that he just snapped
D C G
It had gone on for so long and she wasn't coming back
D C Em
She hadn't been off the couch in at least a dozen years
G Em D C
Deafened by the silence and the grinding of the gears

G Em D C
His friends could see it coming like yellow piss on snow
G Em D C
Like a housefire in the distance, like a car crash in slow-mo
G Em D C
His friends could see it coming but what could someone do?
G Em D C
Speeding down the runway with the brakelines cut in two

G Em
When Walter went crazy
D C
The house went up in the flames
G Em D C
You could see his hands shaking from the bourbon and the shame
G Em D C
Never planned an ending (?), just rolled the credit names
G Em D C
The lights came up, we all went home, never quite the same
G Em D C
The lights came up, we all went home, but never quite the same
G Em D C
The lights came up, we all went home, but never quite the same
Heading to HC Friday and Saturday - first timer!
