Capo: 4
This is a great track off of David Gray's web exclusive live covers album "A Thousand Behind." Originally performed by Waylon Jennings I'm a little iffy on some of the lyrics Capo 4 Tuning: Standard 3/4 Timing Intro: |G|G|G|G| Verse 1:
This Gworld that I live in is empty and cCold This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul I’Gm no child of destiny No fortune sDon
I’ve chased you so long
I’m too weak tGo run Verse 2: same as V.1 And here I return to a backstreet of thrill Back to any warm shoulder till she’s got her fill And then I treat shame like some old friend from home Who I can lean on till the misery is gone
Chorus 1:
A nGew day is here, but nothing is nCew D G |G|G|G| But you’re still gone, still I tremble for you
Verse (same as 1 and 2): I cry out at bedtime: “oh please not tonight” Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light Of course you’re never there, No you never are And I try to forget to that there’s always a bar Chorus 2:
Though GI win that battle And sometimes I dCo, D (tempo slows down) G (strum once and hold) Still sleep doesn’t come, and I tremble for you
very nice, simple progression found in a lot of country western songs
