King of Dust by The Handsome Family Ukulele Chords

N.C.

[VERSE 1]

I dreamed that I was flying above the glittering world,
but I woke up in the bar ditch, car ready to explode
Hanging upside down in the front seat of my truck
The scream of grinding metal, 40 cars piling up

Nothing rusts in the desert. The air is full of ghosts
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared what you saw
when you stared into the sun

[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 2]

Ancient oceans have been lost beneath this shifting clay
where conquistadors in silver hunted Cibola across the plains,
but there are no golden cities, only trailer parks and dust,
and angels only fly here when you drive into the sun

Nothing rusts in the desert. The air is full of ghosts
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared what you saw
when you stared into the sun
