Verse 1
Bm
He died with his boots on
G
in another man's bed
Bm
G
The way he once said it would be
Bm
He's a scoundrel, I guess,
G
just got what was due
Bm
G
But he was always a good friend to me
A
Em
He talked of a girl he'd known long ago
Bm
His eyes welled with tears
A
when he tried to explain
How the sound of her voice
Em
had made him feel whole
Bm
And the smell of her skin,
G
A
like sage after rain
D

Bm
I'd go to East Colfax with
G
one of my friends
Bm
G
Back in high school for something to do
Bm
And that's where I met him
G
when he bought us some beer
Bm
G
A six -pack if he could have two
D
A
He said, come back to my place
Em
you can drink it there safe
Bm
don't worry it's cool
A
then he gave us his name
i paused at a picture
Em
and he told me about her
Bm
and the smell of her skin
G
like sage after rain

Bm
I'd go to his house
G
and we'd talk bulk for hours
Bm
Pacing the floor
G
as he'd quote from his head
D
Bm
There's an old royal typewriter,
G
a desk by a window,
Bm
G
Three novels in boxes under his bed.
A
A drafty old house,
Em
his grandfather'd left him,
Bm
He grew up in Boston,
A
G
came west on a train.
A
The snow -covered front range,
Em
and a lovely young teacher,
Bm
The smell of her skin,
G
A
like sage after rain,
G
A
Like sage after rain
D
G
D

Em
She was killed in the wreck
D
that left him half broken
Em
He told me about it one
D
time and that's all
Em
Some people said it'd help
D
if she was driving
Em
He said that made less
D
than no difference at all.
A
He'd talk of her beauty,
Em
her ice and her fire.
Bm
He'd smile when he'd
call her broad
A
with great brains.
But there was always respect,
Em
and his memories were tender
Bm
in the smell of her skin,
G
A
like sage after rain,

They called me about him early one mornin'
Bm
I made the arrangements
G
that sent him to burn
D
Bm
G
No wife, no children, no next of kin there
Bm
Like it said in his will,
G
they gave me the urn
A
G
A
I drove north to Wyoming
Em
in a late April drizzle
Bm
A place where we'd hunted
A
on the Antelope Plains
Em
I spread him about in the place he'd chosen
Bm
G
A
A prayer and a breath of sage after rain
