Em
Tonight I'll shave the mountain
                          Am
I'll cut the hearts from pharaohs
B7
I pull the road off of the rise
tear the memories from my eyes
                            Em
and in the morning I'll be gone

   Em                
I drink 1000 shipwrecks
                         Am
tonight I'll steal your paychecks
B7
I paint the sheets across my bed
the birds will all fly from my head
                            Em
and in the morning I'll be gone

   Em                             Am
take every dream that's breathing
  D(7?)                           G(?)
find every boot that's leaving
(C)  B7
shoot all the lights in the cafe
  B7                        Em
and in the morning I'll be gone

  Em
I bet 1000 dollars
  Em             Am
I have a French companion
  B7
I tie myself below the deck
I pull the rope around my neck
                   (3-2-0)* Em
and in the morning I'll be gone

  Em                   Am
it takes a life to win her
  D(7?)             G
there is a drum of bourbon
  G            B7
800 pounds of nitro
 B7                           Em
his boots are thunder as he plays

  Em                  Am
there is a stone inside it
 D(7?)                     G
tonight his bones will ride it
 G                        B7
I'll need a tent to hide it
 B7                (3-2-0)* Em
and in the morning I'll be gone
and in the morning I'll be gone
and in the morning I'll be gone


*(3-2-0 on the 6th string) ? cool effect I have seen from a cover on youtube!
