[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Blinded by the city lights, No one can see you stallin'
C
It's been so long since you've seen the prairie stars, You're not sure you can recall them
F G Gsus4 G
But there is something here for you to find, You may have found it once and lost it now
[Verse 2]
Am
We used to fly through the woods, On the backs of quarter horses
C
Pickin' dandelion bouquets for our sister and our mother
F G Gsus4 G
We felt like men but we were boys, too young to know, that we were as free as fire
[Chorus]
F Csus4 F
And you're lost out in the Big Smoke
C Cadd11 C
Lookin' for a way home
G Gsus4 G
There are no straight paths
Am
There's no easy way
[Verse 3]
Am
Brother do you remember, that warm September morning
C
we were shooting cans with Dad's .22 without a worry or a warning
F G Gsus4 G
You pulled the trigger down, and dropped that deer, and you looked at me with tears in your eyes
[Verse 4]
Am
And I never in a million years, thought that you'd make that shot
C
And I picture you tonight, with your sights still on something so far off
F G Gsus4 G
Wherever you are I hope you're being careful, About the things you think you want
[Chorus]
F Csus4 F
And you're lost out in the Big Smoke
C Cadd11 C
Lookin' for a way home
G Gsus4 G
There are no straight paths
Am
There's no easy way
[Verse 5]
Am
The sky is getting hazy, It's filling up with grain dust
C
And it could be in a year, the bank finally gets the best of us
F G Gsus4 G
But our cows are fed and the bins are full, We're hoping to see you before the snow
[Chorus]
F Csus4 F
And you're lost out in the Big Smoke
C Cadd11 C
Lookin' for a way home
G Gsus4 G
There are no straight paths
Am
There's no easy way
[Outro]
F Csus4 F
You're lost out in the Big Smoke
C Cadd11 C
Without a fire of your own
G Gsus4 G
There are no straight paths
Am
There's no easy way
