Intro:
G+G  C majorC
G+G  C majorC

Verse 1:
G+G                    C majorC
Busted flat, passed out in the back of a beat up pick up
G+G                     C majorC
Drivin' me home, but I can't be alone on a night like this
D MajorD    E minorEm   C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC  G+G         C majorC
Walkin' the roadside, dreamin' of a life I wanted to live

Verse 2:
G+G
The cold wind blows from who the hell knows
    C majorC
And the liquor stores are closed
G+G                         C majorC
Rain touches down and it freezes the town and the taillights are out
D MajorD    E minorEm   C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC    G+G
Starin' at road signs, thinkin' of the times, I wanted to live

Wichita Skyline, deliver me home
        E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC B minorBm A augmentedA G+G  C majorC
Be the light of my eyes, 'cause my life, ain't worth living

Verse 3:
G+G                           C majorC
The sun beats down on the bad side of town and there's too many cops around
G+G                       C majorC
Fireworks fly like the fourth of July 'til the factories close down
D MajorD    E minorEm   C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC  G+G
Walkin' the roadside, dreamin' of a life, I just can't forget

C majorC        D MajorD
Wichita Skyline, deliver me home
        E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Be the light of my eyes, 'cause my life, ain't worth living
C majorC        G+G C majorC                   D MajorD
Wichita Skyline, I've got a black eye that matches the other
    G+G            C majorC     G+G C majorC
And the sun that shines when the winter is over
C majorC         D MajorD         E minorEm
I can't see eye to eye with anyone at all

Be the light in my eyes

Wichita Skyline (deliver me home), deliver me home
