This is a great song.  I think this song sounds best when two guitars
play together.  Try it out.  Any comments are welcome.

Capo 2nd fret
Dsus4 = x00233

Into:  D    Dsus4 (x2)

D                     Dsus4
Out here alone in the cold fields
A                        D
How in the world did you find me at all?
D                         Dsus4
I've been marking off the days
A                 D
May this one pass away.
G              D      G                A
And all that I know... is here in this dirty old floor.


D               A             G            A
And now I'm the fool that you tease in the tavern,
D        A            G           A
I am the one that you left on the run.
   D         A        G        A
So let me go crazy alone in my feild.
G                             D
Forgive me if you ever see me breakdown
G                            D
And I hope you'll still come around.

A    G    A    D(x2)

        D                             Dsus4
Did you see me in the paper all those years ago
       A                               D
Well I guess my luck was with me and I guess that you know
       D                          Dsus4
That I used to be a fighter and I used to tour the road
      A                                  Dsus4
And I think it might be better if that's all that you know
G           D      G          A
My name was lucky- then I was never alone.


D               A             G            A
But now I'm the fool that you tease in the tavern
D        A            G           A
I am the one that was left on the run.
   D         A        G        A
So let me go crazy alone in my field
G                             D
Forgive me if you ever see me breakdown
G                            D
And I hope you'll still come around.

A    G    A    D(x2)

D                         Dsus4
So I sit in my fields and remember
      A                         D
And I stare at the ground and I wonder
      D                          Dsus4
Maybe I should've written, maybe I should've sold
      A                     D
But I think that my fortune tomorrow's untold.
G              D      G                A
And all that I know... is here in this dirty old floor.


D            A             G            A
Now I am the fool that you tease in the tavern
D        A            G           A
I am the one that was left on the run
   D         A        G        A
So let me go crazy alone in my feilds
G                             D
Forgive me if you ever see me breakdown
G                        D
And I hope you'll still- come around.
G                            D
I'm sitting in my fields and remember
G                               D    [A    G    A    D](x2)
I'm staring at the ground and I wonder...
