Chords with lyrics

DmDm         G+G
It was a dark dusty road in west Texas
    C majorC               A minorAm        DmDm
Where a young cowboy thumbed down a ride
            G+G
Got in the truck with a suitcase and a fiddle
   C majorC             A minorAm        FF
And a bag that he kept by his side.

                G+G
The farmer could see that this young man was broken
    C majorC               A minorAm        FF
By the thunder that peeled in his mind
         G+G
So he offered his bottle of tequilla
     C majorC               A minorAm        DmDm
"Tune the radio and see what you can find”

            G+G
By and by the young man grew a bit more social
  C majorC               A minorAm         DmDm
Concealing the worries in his head
                G+G
Said he didn't care for the mariachi on the radio
     C majorC                    A minorAm          FF
Would he mind if he tuned to something else instead?

                 G+G
The moon was blue, the night was black as a bible,
    C majorC            A minorAm        FF
And the radio glowed upon his face
          G+G
He grew still as he fooled with the dial
    C majorC                A minorAm        DmDm
Tuning signals that came from outer space

             G+G
Adjusting the mirror the better to regard him
  C majorC                  A minorAm        DmDm
The farmer asked how far he planned to go.
               G+G
The cowboy asked if he would take him across the border
     C majorC             A minorAm         FF
And after that he really didn't know

              G+G
The farmer said “Eho, I can see that you are troubled
  C majorC                  A minorAm        FF
By things I don't think you can out run
          G+G
But I will take you far across the border,
     C majorC                    A minorAm        DmDm
If you'll use my ears and tell me what you've done.”

           G+G
They kept the silence for another mile,
     C majorC                  A minorAm        DmDm
Then the cowboy flicked his cigarette outside.
           G+G
Then he took another pull from the bottle,
     C majorC                   A minorAm        FF
While the truth search for words on which to ride.

                G+G
He said “I fell in love with a girl who played the fiddle
    C majorC                A minorAm         FF
And the way she held the bow in her hand.
         G+G
But my heart was broken by a promise
    C majorC                A minorAm         DmDm
She had given to a luckier man.

             G+G
Before I could go I just knew I had to find her,
C majorC                    A minorAm         DmDm
Take with me the memory of her face.
              G+G
The night was starless as I stood before the lady
     C majorC                 A minorAm         FF
Tuned in signals that came from outer space.

               G+G
No one could find her on the day she was to marry
     C majorC                  A minorAm         FF
And they left the church fearful of the cause.
           G+G
The next day someone found a woman's body,
  C majorC                   A minorAm         DmDm
But no one could be sure just who she was.

          G+G
Sometimes when I'm dialing on the radio
 C majorC                 A minorAm         DmDm
I think I hear a fiddle start to play.
        G+G
But I can never tune in the signal,
   C majorC                 A minorAm        FF
And I never hear what she's trying to say.

             G+G
Farmer said “Eho I don't think that you will find her,
     C majorC                   A minorAm        FF
And this journey will only lead you way to hell.
           G+G
You must go back and stand upon the gallows
 C majorC                      A minorAm        DmDm
I reckon that's what the signals trying to tell.”

              G+G
Police stopped them as they tried to cross at Roma,
    C majorC                    A minorAm       DmDm
And he nodded when they read him his rights.
               G+G
And in the truck he left the suitcase and the fiddle
    C majorC            A minorAm          FF
And the bag he'd kept by his side.

              G+G
The farmer took the bag and looked there in side it,
    C majorC                A minorAm         FF
And was struck by the beauty in her face.
             G+G
In the dark with all the sorrow and the horror
    C majorC                 A minorAm
