Tuned Whole Step Down: D-G-C-F-A-D
Chords still formed the same.
[Verse 1]
Em
All that love all those mistakes
G
What else can a poor man make?
C
So I gave up a life of crime
G
I gave it to a friend of mine
C
Something else was on my mind
G
The only ghost I'm haunted by
Em
I hear her howling down below
C G
Idaho, oh Idaho
[Verse 2]
Em
Wolves oh wolves oh can't you see?
G
Ain't no wolf can sing like me
C
And if it could then I suppose
G
He belongs in Idaho
C
Packs of dogs and cigarettes
G
For those who ain't done packing yet
Em
My clothes are packed and I want to go
C G
Idaho, oh Idaho
[Verse 3]
Em
Out at sea for seven years
G
I got your letter in Tangier
C
Thought that I'd been on a boat
G
'Til that single word you wrote
C
That single word it landlocked me
G
Turned the masts to cedar trees
Em
And the wind to gravel roads
C G
Idaho, oh Idaho
Em
Turned the wind to gravel roads
C G
Idaho, oh Idaho
