There's a Cyoung man iAmn the corner,F playingC crazy all night long.
CQuarteFrs pilGed high upon the table.
AnCd he orders AmWild TurkFey with a quick Cwit and a smile.
He Csays "myAm darling,G you're the one I'll drape in sable."
ButC his baseAmball cap, aFnd his barroom Crap tell me a different story
That Amthis is noFt my priGnce to grant all my wishes
Just Canother lonAmely countrFy boy, gCrown weary of the night.
Just Canother boyAm, with a sGink full of dirty dishes.
AmAnd where are yFou tonight?
AmWhen I left you in Fmy dreams last night,
You Cpromised me that Gwe woulFd be breaking free.
FWhere Gare yAmou tonight?
AnCd he teAmlls me of tFhe backroCads, and I will ride them all night long.
CAnd the daAmys of faGte and the moon will hang forever.
And a Ccloud of Amdust wilFl kick up and Clinger like a sun.
AndC the myth wiAmll grow aGbout the two who refused to surrender.
But Cas I catcAmh us in the barroom mirror
with his Farm aroCund my shoulder,
CThis girl I see hasAm grownG so unfamiliar.
And Cas she standAms to leaveF with Ca stranger by her side,
She Ccan't help Ambut laugh at Ga life turned so peculiar,
AmAnd where are yFou tonight?
AmI don't think I cFan face tomorrow's light,
C G Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
EmAnd where are yFou tonight?
EmI think IF can make it through all right,
F Em Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
