C x4
[Verse]
C
Stumbling around in the pitch black dark
F C
Big old hole right through my heart
C G
Waiting on the fist sweet sign of dawn
C F
Never found any sacred ground in this godforsaken town
C G C
Wont you give me some light good Lord and get me gone
[Chorus]
F C
Get me gone like a shooting star
F C
Just as fast and just as far
F C G
Don't like the long lost love in a country song
F C
Gone like whiskey gone like broke
F C
Straight outta here like wind blown smoke
F C G C
Won't you give me some light good Lord and get me gone
ACOUSTIC SOLO (C F G) AT ANY PACE REALLY
[Verse]
C
I left a good woman I really loved
F C
For the arms of lady luck
C G
Now the kiss is cold and bitter on my tongue
C
You warm the marrow in these bones
F C
And while you got your big light on
C G C
Shine it on the road home, and get me gone
[Chorus]
F C
Get me gone like a shooting star
F C
Just as fast and just as far
F C G
Don't like the long lost love in a country song
F C
Gone like whiskey gone like broke
F C
Straight outta here like wind blown smoke
F C G C
Won't you give me some light good Lord and get me gone
ACOUSTIC SOLO (WORK WITH WHATEVER YOU WANT; I USE C MAJOR SCALE AND SOMETIMES I'LL JUST PLAY C F G)
[Chorus]
F C
Get me gone like a shooting star
F C
Just as fast and just as far
F C G
Don't like the long lost love in a country song
F C
Gone like whiskey gone like broke
F C
Straight outta here like wind blown smoke
F C G C
Won't you give me some light good Lord and get me gone
