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

Bm
As I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
					D
The desert sky she flys by for miles
Bm
As I keep walkin? people keep talkin?
						D
About things they?ve never scene or done,
Bm
Homeless sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
					D
I myself just move on through town
Bm
The moon keeps on shinin?
The rich keep on dinin?
				    D
Oh how i love the highway sun
Em			G			      D
Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

Bm
Coyotes are callin?
Stars keep on fallin?
				   D
Your mother she won?t be around
Bm
A feather blows down the road
The wind is cold and your wings are broke
					   D
And your heart is livin? on the run
Bm
Lonely and wasted, her eyes replaced it
					   D
I don?t think I?ll make another mile
Bm
From town to town I run
My horse ain?t to drunk
					D
The daylight is singin to the sun
Em			    G					D
Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

Bm
Juke box is barkin?
I?m just getting started
					D
I?ve yet to see the light of day
Bm
Senoritias lose it to the mariachi music
				   D
Cause new york is too far away
Bm
The band keeps on playin?
With beer bottles breakin?
					D
The barmaid I heard pulled a gun
Bm
Poet takes a pistol, points at this sister
				D
Says honey your day is done
Em			    G					D
Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood
Em			    G					D
Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood
