I absolutely love this song. Chords patterned after Tyrrell, god bless him!
Brian


D   
Its black clouds scudding 'cross the midland sky
G                                        D
In the bedroom window, Sandy catches her eye
G                                                 Em
Full of tears as she watches the Texan's car fade away
G
In the distance.

    D
He'd been tellin' her before that the mine's closing down
    G                                     D
Soon her husband Jimmy would be home every day
G                                          Em
The company was pullin' out he was heading back
          G                     D
To his own family back in Galveston

D                   A          D
And he handed her a blue green bangle
D                   A             G
That he found in the hills outside Slane
                               Em
He said someday when this is all forgotten
          G                         D
You might pick it up and think of me again.
