Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name

AG Murder tonight in the trailer park. F Mrs. Annabelle Evans found E with her throat cut after dark. A Her pockets turned inside out G her dresser drawers turned upside down. F Anna's neighbor, Peg, identifies the body EBE lets out a hollow kind of sound.
EA Homicide is tying yellow ribbons EA around her silver Airstream. EA Red cherries slashing up the night BAE cutting through that cordoned crime scene. AGE There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.
AG Murder tonight in the trailer park. F Pack your things, Ann Marie, we're heading E west, we're gonna make a fresh start. A I've been saving pennies, G been looking forward to this day. F No time for questions, are you coming EBE or are you gonna stay?
EA Crosstown at the Waterton EA George Evans is sitting tall and tight, EA buying drinks for all the regulars BAE bragging about how them bones danced for him tonight. AGE There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.
AG Murder tonight in the trailer park. F Faceless man counting crumpled bills, E hotel neon fights the dark. AG TV set in the corner, they're talking murder on the late-night news. F He turns down the sound, waits for the sports. EBE He only wants to know "did I win or did I lose?"
EAEA There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight. EAE Murder in the trailer park.
The song sounds right except for the first B (and its repetitions), which I think sounds a little off. It must be some B variation. If you can correct me, I can go to my grave happy.
