One of my favorites on James McMurtry's "Too Long in the Wasteland" No capo, standard tuning. It's easy to play and sing :) Good luck! INTRO: Am VERSE 1:
AmGone off in the pitch-black dark to Gwork the morning tour He's Amhalfway to the highway and he won't be back for hours His Gtaillights down the gravel road, you watch them round the Ambend GNothing's on the TV but Amsomething's in the wind And it makes you Gcrazy, and it makes you Amblue It's a restless Gfeeling and it's nothing Amnew
VERSE 2: Listen to the buzzing of the June bugs and the flies The sink's all full of dishes - you might just let 'em lie You might just pour yourself a drink and sit outside a while He won't miss the whiskey - he know's it's not your style And he don't care enough to even wonder why You fight off his fumbling hands with daggers in your eyes CHORUS 1:
FTime sure flies when you're Chaving fun GWasn't it just yesterday you Amturned twenty-one FDoes it still matter what you Cmight have done Had you Gtried F Am
VERSE 3: His bird dogs in their wire cage are barking at the moon You turn the covers back and hope the dawn don't come too soon Draw the shades to keep your dark eyes from the glare of the vapour light But the sheets are cool and empty and you won't sleep tonight With a half moon rising and a warm gusty breeze Blowing from the southwest, whispering in the trees SOLO: F C G Am F C G F Am VERSE 4: The asphalt 'neath the tires makes a hollow whining sound And it stretches on forever through a thousand little towns With their stores all dark and silent and their flashing yellow lights And nobody sees you passing in the fury of your flight You'll see them later, some other day Self preservation, what can you say CHORUS 2: Time sure flies when you're having fun Your mind's made up now and it's all said and done Flying down the four-lane with the morning sun In your eyes
