From: robertc@dry.Princeton.EDU (Robert Spassky Cabacungan) COWBOY JUNKIES' LAMENT (written by Townes ? [can't remember last name]) (from Black-Eyed Man, by the Cowboy Junkies) ------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: C* (x2) Verse:

^CBaby's in the back lot ^Fbreathin' real heavy Said the ^Gboys in the alley wouldn't ^Fleave her ^Calone ^CMama did her makeup in a ^Fterrible hurry She ^Gfinally got ready but the ^Fboys were ^Cgone ^FMama don't you worry, ^Gnight's approachin' There's a ^Fhole in heaven where some ^Gsin slips ^Cthrough ^CJust close your eyes, and ^Fdream real steady ^GMaybe just a little will ^Fspill on ^Cyou

C Chorus:

^CDark don't ^Flie ^G C* Dreams come true ^FAll it takes is one or ^Ctwo

Verse: "Old lady rose, lookin' down her nose..." Chorus: "Won't be long, I won't be gone..." Verse: "Those in the know, say so it goes..." Chorus: "Snake eyes cry, boxcars sigh..." Chorus: "Dark don't lie, dreams come true..." (then repeat the A E sequence for: "Maybe just a few will see you through") (and repeat it twice more without words for the Outtro) Chords: C 022100 F 002220 G 224442 Notes: E* means that the E is decorated by futzing it with an Em (as you can hear in the song). There is a lot of sliding in the song. Not currently possessing a slide, or knowing how to tune the guitar to an appropriately to slide to this song, I just make do by sometimes sliding the A up to 004440. It sounds pretty good for the chorus. Apologies in advance for lyrical errors. By the way, does anyone out there know "Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park?" Rob P.S. This group has brought me closer to a lot of cool music. Thought it high time I started to return the favor. Thanks!
