G                               C              G
lately in the evening I've been thinking on my life
                                  D 
and it cast a gloomy shadow on my soul
G                                       C                  G
I've got weakness for the flesh and for powdered speedin' death
                       D             G
and my heart is aching for my desert home

G                                  C                G
there are women in my life who get swallowed by the night
                                   D
they are faceless to me as I am to them

G                                 C                  G 
I am troubled in the night by the thoughts of my own life
                       D               G 
and my spirits sinking and my faith is thin

           C                              G
I'd rather be in your de Valley where the fuel they make is fine
                     C                  D
where sleep can't ever seem to catch me anywhere

       G                              C              G          
so the sun begins to rise up now but still I see no lights
                                        D
and I fear the raise of hope will never shine

          G                          C              G       
the devil he is creeping near and he whispers in my ear 
                         D          G  
telling me he'll give me all that I desire

so the sun begins to rise up now but still I see no lights

                         D          G

                         D          G  
telling me he'll give me all that I desire
