The Willows - Goodnight Loving Trail
INTRO: C G C G C
G
You're too old to wrangle or ride on the swing
C
You beat the triangle and you curse everything
F
If dirt were a kingdom, then you'd be the king
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
C G
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
C G
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light
G
With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments too
C
You can do anything that a doctor can do
F
Except find a cure for your own goddamn stew
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
C G
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
C G
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C F C G C
G
Well, the campfire's gone out and the coffee's all gone
C
The boys are all up and they're raising the dawn
F
And you're sitting there, lost in a song
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
C G
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
C G
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light

BRIDGE:
Am C
It's a wonder the wind
Am C
It's a wonder the wind
Am C F C
It's a wonder the wind
G
Oh, it's someday, I'll be just the same
C
Wearing an apron instead of a name
F
There's no one can change it, there's no one to blame
C G
For the dessert's a book writ in lizards and sage
C
Easy to look like an old torn out page
F
Faded and cracked with the colours of age
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
C G
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf

It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
