[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G
Her face read like Anna Karenina
Em
She was strong as that old gypsum weed
C
And, oh, she could dance like a blind beggars hand
G
Just waiting for someone to see
[Verse 2]
G
She spoke like a hard night in Beaumont
Em
Carried on like the old Suwannee
C
And she came along like a ravenous song
G
So hungry for someone to sing
[Chorus]
C
The days turned like cowards
C G
So swiftly to the hour of need
C
And I’ll be a martyr
C G
To whatever your heartache will leave
D
Then I’ll slip through your hands like a boy
N.c. G
Born with no name
[Instrumental]
G | G | G | G |
[Verse 3]
G
Her eyes they were set like a cannon
Em
And boy, they’d blow you away
C
And she’d cross your mind like a cheap box of wine
G
Where each sip is like a track switch and train
[Verse 4]
G
She swore like a dry county welder
Em
She’s pry on the side seldom seen
C
And she could make love like Augusta Road
G
And just buckle like the bends in a creek
[Chorus]
C
The days turned like cowards
C G
So swiftly to the hour of need
C
And I’ll be a martyr
C G
To whatever your heartache will leave
D
Then I’ll slip through your hands like a boy
N.c. G
Born with no name

So swiftly to the hour of need

N.c. G
Born with no name
