          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.
