Eliza Gilkyson - Midnight on Raton


CAPO: 6th Fret


INTRO: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

       FF
Sitting in a motel
    G+G       C majorC
On the outskirts of Raton
A minorAm         FF
How the years have flown since Townes
G+G              A minorAm
Passed through these hills alone

FF         C majorC
I got someone who loves me
  G+G    E minorEm   FF
But it's too late to phone
    G+G         C majorC
I wanna ride this road forever
    A minorAm  E minorEm   C majorC
And I'm dying to go home


INTERLUDE: C majorC FF G+G C majorC  FF G+G C majorC


         FF
Out there on the interstate
  G+G        C majorC
The hurrying of the cars
A minorAm       FF
High above room 28
  G+G        A minorAm
The swirling of the stars


   FF       C majorC
And I draw the vinyl curtains
    G+G   E minorEm    FF
Like a veil across my skin
 G+G        C majorC
I turn the bedside lamp down
   A minorAm   E minorEm  FF
And I let my shadows in

BRIDGE:
         C majorC     G+G
'Cause I feel so full and
     C majorC
So empty handed
   FF    C majorC
In a world so cruel
    E minorEm      FF
I don't think I understand it
         C majorC
Are we still the fools who
G+G     E minorEm     FF
Don't know right from wrong
    G+G C majorC   E minorEm G+G FF
Here at midnight on Raton?


INTERLUDE: C majorC FF G+G C majorC  FF G+G C majorC


         FF
I find a crumpled napkin
   G+G      C majorC
And I fumble for a pen
A minorAm        FF
Chase a fleeting moment
    G+G        A minorAm
Like it was my long lost friend


   FF         C majorC
And I curl up 'neath the blankets
   G+G    E minorEm   FF
And I dream until the dawn
     G+G        C majorC       E minorEm    FF
But, come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
   G+G        C majorC       E minorEm    FF
Come morning I'll be through these hills and gone


OUTRO:  (## repeat 7x and fade to end ##)
