intro
DO SOL FA FA
The whippoorwills were crying in the falling rain
DO SOL FA FA
Far away a whistle hailed a passing train
LAm SOL FA SOL
Out in the country summer was almost gone
LAm MIm FA SOL SOL
The fields were turning rusty and the hills were turning brown
DO SOL FA FA
Now I think of you when summer stars are on the rise
DO SOL FA FA
I think of you with a bottle of wine and lazy eyes
LAm SOL FA SOL
Playing rock and roll songs on an old guitar
LAm MIm FA SOLsus - SOL SOLsus - SOL
Getting drunk and sleeping out in my backyard
FA SOL DO - SOL/SI LAm - SOL
Now sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind
FA SOL DO - SOL/SI LAm - SOL
Blowing through the seasons of my heart again
FA SOL LAm FA
My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns
FA SOL DO SOL FA FA DO SOL FA FA
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: C G F F etc.]
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: F(9) F(9) C(9) C(9) etc.]
