Row of Dominoes
This song was written by Butch Hancock.
My interpretation is from the version on
Joe Ely's live album, Live at Liberty Lunch.
To play his version on the album, Lord of the
Highway, I *think* you need a capo at the first
fret.

Anyway, enjoy....this is a really cool song
Row of Dominoes
by Butch Hancock
Verse 1:
Dm C
Carmen must have been the Devils daughter
C Dm
At least he taught her how to wear her clothes
Dm C
And the boys followed her to the slaughter
C Dm
Where they fell like a row of dominoes
C Dm
They fell like a row of dominoes
Verse 2:
Don't let your past drive you under
You know how a memory comes and goes
Well the years rolled away just like thunder
Where they fell like a row of dominoes
They fell like a row of dominoes
Chorus:
F Am
Won't you tell me how you been
C Dm
Something more than you've been feelin fine
F Am
I'm havin that feelin again
C Dm
Theres a whole lot more to lay on the line
C Dm
A whole lot more to lay on the line
Verse 3:
Share and share alike you know I love you
But I also love the way the wild wind blows
So don't set your dreams up there above you
Where they'll fall like a row of dominoes
They'll fall like a row of dominoes
Verse 4:
They say a fool never knows what he misses
And a wise man never misses what he knows
What can I say your ten thousand kisses
Fell on me like a row of dominoes
They fell like a row of dominoes
Chorus
