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