And this is what I make of the lyrics (between brackets the corresponding above guitar parts):

(2) Caught in those tired eyes
Go with me all the time
And in the dead of night
Tell me you will be mine

(3) Where do you go to, pretty babe
Where do you go to when the night wins away
Well ask me so sweetly what do I do
Who do I sing for, my honey I sing about (4) you, you...

GREAT SONG (better than In my place IMHO)

Enjoy!
