{intro} 
 

    C5                  G5              F5           F5 
The whippoorwills were crying in the falling rain 
C5            G5                 F5            F5 
  Far away a whistle hailed a passing train 
A5            G5                 F5           G5 
  Out in the country summer was almost gone 
    A5                   E5            F5                   G5    G5 
The fields were turning rusty and the hills were turning brown 
 

      C5                 G5                F5           F5 
Now I think of you when summer stars are on the rise 
  C5                   G5                  F5         F5 
I think of you with a bottle of wine and lazy eyes 
A5                  G5               F5          G5 
  Playing rock and roll songs on an old guitar 
A5                    E5            F5       G5 -  G5  G5 -  G5 
  Getting drunk and sleeping out in my backyard 
 

    F5                G5              C5 - G5    A5 - G5 
Now sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind 
F5                     G5          C5 - G5  A5 - G5 
Blowing through the seasons of my heart again 
     F5                G5                A5                F5 
My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns 
    F5                   G5                 C5   G5   F5   F5    C5   G5   F5   F5 
But babe, you know, I still look out for you 
 
The cars were all abandoned on the city streets 

When snow had left us stranded then we used our feet 

And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar 

And now when it starts storming I wonder where you are 
 
'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you 

You said to never trust a man who sings the blues 

Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need 

If you found a way to love the girl in me 
 
{Chorus} 
 
{Guitar solo: 
C5  G5  F5  F5 } 
 

Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes 

Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times 

Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you 

Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues 
 
{Chorus} 
 
{Fade-out: 
F5  F5  C5  C(9)}
