     C majorC		   A minorAm    	 FF		  C majorC
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
C majorC		 FF		 G+G
Quarters piled high upon the table.
	C majorC      A minorAm	   FF        C majorC
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
  C majorC				  A minorAm			 G+G
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
	 C majorC			 A minorAm		   FF       C majorC
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
   A minorAm	   FF			 G+G
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
   C majorC		   A minorAm		  FF		  C majorC
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
   C majorC			  A minorAm			 G+G
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.

A minorAm	   	  FF
And where are you tonight?
A minorAm	        FF
When I left you in my dreams last night,
  C majorC	       G+G			FF
You promised me that we would be breaking free.
FF	  G+G	 A minorAm
Where are you tonight?

	C majorC		 A minorAm			  FF			 C majorC
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
C majorC				 A minorAm		 G+G
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
   C majorC		  A minorAm		 FF       C majorC
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
	 C majorC			   A minorAm		  G+G
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
	 C majorC		  A minorAm
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
     FF		 C majorC
with his arm around my shoulder,
C majorC     	   A minorAm		G+G
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
  C majorC		    A minorAm	   FF		 C majorC
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
  C majorC				 A minorAm		    G+G
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,

A minorAm	   	  FF
And where are you tonight?
A minorAm	       FF
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
  C majorC	    G+G		   A minorAm (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.

E minorEm	   	  FF
And where are you tonight?
E minorEm			 FF
I think I can make it through all right,
    FF 			 E minorEm			 A minorAm (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.



These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
