Biography:
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

[Verse 1]
C5
A candle burning for everything I've ever wanted
C5
A tattoo burned for everything I've ever wanted and lost
Bb(9)
I had a long list of names that I kept in my back pocket
C5
But I've cut it down to one and your name's at the top
[Chorus]
F Eb6 C5
Won't you share a common disaster?
Eb6 D5(7) Bb(9)
Share with me a common disaster
D5 Eb6 C5
Oh oh, a common disaster
[Verse 2]
C5
I found myself a friend but he's crooked as a stick in water
C5
So now I'm writing fairy tales to raise the spirit of revenge
Bb(9)
He's got a plan to steal my little sister
C5
But I'm not too concerned 'cause I will get him in the end
[Repeat Chorus]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
C5
Going to find me someone to share a common disaster
C5
Run away with me from a life so cramped and dull
Bb9
Not to worry too much about the happily-ever-after
C5
Just keep the caddy moving 'til we're well beyond that hill
[Repeat Chorus]
