G5 G5 F5 F5 G5 G5 F5 F5 {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)}
