The Cowboy Junkies é uma banda canadense de rock alternativo, com ênfase folk e country, formada em 1985 em Toronto, Canada, pelos irmãos Michael (guitarra), Peter (bateria) e Margo Timmins (vocal), além de Alan Anton (baixo).
O primeiro álbum da banda, Whites Off Earth, com uma forte inspiração blues, foi gravado na garagem dos Timmins e produzido pelo produtor canadense Peter Moore. Seu lançamendo se deu em 1986, o mesmo ano em que a banda saiu em turnê pelo sul dos Estados Unidos.

COWBOY JUNKIES' LAMENT (written by Townes ? [can't remember last name]) (from Black-Eyed Man, by the Cowboy Junkies) -------------------------------------------------------------
Intro: E* (x2)
Verse:
EA Baby's in the back lot breathin' real heavy BAE Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone EA Mama did her makeup in a terrible hurry BAE She finally got ready but the boys were gone AB Mama don't you worry, night's approachin' ABE There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through EA Just close your eyes, and dream real steady BAE Maybe just a little will spill on you
E
Chorus:
EAB Dark don't lie E* Dreams come true AE All it takes is one or two
Verse: "Old lady rose, lookin' down her nose..." Chorus: "Won't be long, I won't be gone..." Verse: "Those in the know, say so it goes..." Chorus: "Snake eyes cry, boxcars sigh..." Chorus: "Dark don't lie, dreams come true..." (then repeat the A E sequence for: "Maybe just a few will see you through") (and repeat it twice more without words for the Outtro)
Chords:
E 022100 A 002220 B 224442
Notes:
E* means that the E is decorated by futzing it with an Em (as you can hear in the song). There is a lot of sliding in the song. Not currently possessing a slide, or knowing how to tune the guitar to an appropriately to slide to this song, I just make do by sometimes sliding the A up to 004440. It sounds pretty good for the chorus.
Apologies in advance for lyrical errors. By the way, does anyone out there know "Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park?"

P.S. This group has brought me closer to a lot of cool music. Thought it high time I started to return the favor. Thanks!
