Am
Writer's Minor Holiday, thumb tacks spread out
F C Fm G
Across your hometown state, hollow tree at half mast
Am
Wait until wintertime
F C Fm G G
Leaves a paper trail, a licorice plant that's over___grown
[Chorus]

Like a cabin in the woods on a minor
C C F G C C C C
Like a minor holiday
[Verse]
Am
Woolrich red plaid wolf
F C Fm G
Irish whiskey glass, here comes my fine bright haired lass
A
Like a trash fire burning and burning it
F C Fm G G
My heart could never right, the words never fail
Dm A Dm A Dm A
Tucked under your cap and for a moment
A# A# G G C
There's a stillness before the room spins again
[Chorus]
C F G C C F G C
A Minor holiday, spin it again
C F G C C C C C
Ride it out so you can tell
[Verse]
Am
Wasted on the weekend
F C Fm G G
Making good time with my excuse, where the plot lines are like dead ends
C C F G C
Floating in her eyes at the bottom of a well
C F G C C F G C C
Floating in her eyes ride it out for a spell
F G C C F G C C F G
