[intro]
C Am F G C x3
C Am
My lady left her lamplight burning praying for my safe return
F G C
In a moment I'll be nothing more than gone
C Am
Well the highway turns and burns its greed fulfilling every sinner's need
F G C
Slowly turning pilgrims into pawns
C Am
So I'm out the door and in my truck she wishes me the best of luck
F G C
And waves as I pull down the drive
C Am
And I'm swallowed up into the night safe behind these dashboard lights
F G C
I thank God that somehow I'm still alive
[Chorus]
[Am G C
And the moon is almost full tonight
Am G C F
I can see for miles and miles beneath its light
F G C
Yeah the coyotes must be crazy down in the countryside
Am G C
And my heart it is on fire it seems
Am G C F
Burning images of my old childhood dreams
F G
And they swell like an angel born in flight
C
Like the moon is almost full tonight
[first interlude]
C Am F G C x2
C Am
Well the night cruised by in awesome wonder cast beneath the rolling thunder
F G C
As I cut a path across these golden fields
C Am
Thoughts of her go floating backwards hoping happy ever afters
F G C
And raindrops from heavens rafters are on my windshield
C Am
Well lets turn into a new day darling try to hear your own heart calling
F G C
The time is now there is no time to wait
C Am
Follow on that path you've chosen slowly melting come unfrozen
F G C
Releave your guard of its duty at your gate
[Chorus]
Am G C
And the moon is almost full tonight
Am C G F
I can see for miles and miles beneath its light
F G C
Yeah the coyotes must be crazy down in the countryside
Am G C
And my heart it is on fire it seems
Am G C F
Burning images of my old childhood dreams
F G
And they swell like an angel born in flight
C
Like the moon is almost full tonight
[Solo]
Am F G
C Am
My lady left her lamplight burning praying for my safe return
