Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses - The Poet
Junky Star
Standard Tuning

BmAs (x24432@1)I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
					DThe (xx0232@1)desert sky she flys by for miles
BmAs (x24432@1)I keep walkin' people keep talkin'
						DAbout (xx0232@1)things they've never scene or done,
BmHomeless (x24432@1)sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
					DI (xx0232@1)myself just move on through town
BmThe (x24432@1)moon keeps on shinin'
The rich keep on dinin'
				    DOh (xx0232@1)how i love the highway sun
Em (022000@1)	G (320003@1)	      DOut (xx0232@1)to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

BmCoyotes (x24432@1)are callin'
Stars keep on fallin'
				   DYour (xx0232@1)mother she won't be around
BmA (x24432@1)feather blows down the road
The wind is cold and your wings are broke
					   DAnd (xx0232@1)your heart is livin' on the run
BmLonely (x24432@1)and wasted, her eyes replaced it
					   DI (xx0232@1)don't think I'll make another mile
BmFrom (x24432@1)town to town I run
My horse ain't to drunk
					DThe (xx0232@1)daylight is singin to the sun
Em (022000@1)	    G (320003@1)			DOut (xx0232@1)to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

BmJuke (x24432@1)box is barkin'
I'm just getting started
					DI've (xx0232@1)yet to see the light of day
BmSenoritias (x24432@1)lose it to the mariachi music
				   DCause (xx0232@1)new york is too far away
BmThe (x24432@1)band keeps on playin'
With beer bottles breakin'
					DThe (xx0232@1)barmaid I heard pulled a gun
BmPoet (x24432@1)takes a pistol, points at this sister
				DSays (xx0232@1)honey your day is done
Em (022000@1)	    G (320003@1)			DOut (xx0232@1)to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood
