Eliza Gilkyson - Dark Side Of Town


N.C.    C majorC         FF
He was the black sheep of the family
    C majorC        FF
How did mama's pride and joy
    C majorC        FF
Go from such a precious baby
    G+G
To the devil's poster boy


     C majorC         FF
I'm gonna slick my hair like Elvis
    C majorC        FF
Roll my cuffs like Jerry Lee
    C majorC         FF
If the backbeat's born in hell
        G+G
Then that's the place I want to be

CHORUS:
       FF     C majorC
I'm gonna be a midnight rider
   FF       C majorC
Gonna burn my candle down
FF       C majorC
Following that driving beat
    A minorAm      FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF
To the dark side of town


     C majorC        FF
From the barrooms of Deep Elam
   C majorC        FF
To a crash-pad on the Bay
  C majorC         FF
He spiralled slow and steady down
 G+G
A augmentedA lonely blue highway


     C majorC         FF
I'm gonna chase my beer with whiskey
    C majorC      FF
Stick a needle in my skin
     C majorC       FF
I'm gonna celebrate the mystery
    G+G
Of the hole I've fallen in

CHORUS:
      FF     C majorC
'Cause I'm a midnight rider
   FF       C majorC
Gonna burn my candle down
FF       C majorC
Following that driving beat
    A minorAm      FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF
To the dark side of town


  C majorC        FF
He loved that funky music
  C majorC         FF
He knew the back road scenes
   C majorC      FF
Every barbeque and blues band
    G+G
Between here and New Orleans


C majorC        FF
He put down the bottle
 C majorC      FF
October Eighty-nine
C majorC        FF
Eased up on the throttle
G+G
Bought him a little time


CHORUS:
      FF     C majorC
But he was a midnight rider
  FF         C majorC
He burned that candle down
FF          C majorC
Hangin' out on easy-does-it street
    A minorAm      FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF
On the dark side of town


C majorC       FF
Big Al settled down along
  C majorC       FF
The banks of Onion Creek
    C majorC      FF
With a pickup and a hound dog
   G+G
And a little lucky streak


  C majorC          FF
He nursed that fragile frame
      C majorC       FF
Through the hurricanes and drought
     C majorC        FF
It was a summer wind that came in
  G+G
And blew the candle out


CHORUS:
        FF     C majorC
'Cause he was a midnight rider
  FF         C majorC
He burned that candle down
FF       C majorC
Following that driving beat
    A minorAm      FF
To the dark side of town


CHORUS:
         C majorC
Oh, you midnight rider
 FF         C majorC
I know you're still around
FF       C majorC
Hangin' out on easy street
    A minorAm      FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF
On the dark side of town
