C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CThere's (x32010@1)a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) GQuarters (320003@1)piled high upon the table.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) GHe (320003@1)says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CBut (x32010@1)his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) GThat (320003@1)this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CJust (x32010@1)another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) GJust (320003@1)another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.
Am (x02210@1) FAnd (133211@1)where are you tonight?
Am (x02210@1) FWhen (133211@1)I left you in my dreams last night,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) FYou (133211@1)promised me that we would be breaking free.
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) AmWhere (x02210@1)are you tonight?
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) GAnd (320003@1)the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) GAnd (320003@1)the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
C (x32010@1) AmBut (x02210@1)as I catch us in the barroom mirror
F (133211@1) Cwith (x32010@1)his arm around my shoulder,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1)GThis (320003@1)girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) GShe (320003@1)can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
Am (x02210@1) FAnd (133211@1)where are you tonight?
Am (x02210@1) FI (133211@1)don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Am(hold) (x02210@1)Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
Em (022000@1) FAnd (133211@1)where are you tonight?
Em (022000@1) FI (133211@1)think I can make it through all right,
F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am(hold) (x02210@1)But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
