Dm/A A augmentedA Dm/A A augmentedA
Verse:
A augmentedA Dm/A A augmentedA
Sister, I'm heading out of Alabama
Dm/A A augmentedA
So you better think fast.
Dm/A A augmentedA
The wind is gonna pick me up now
Dm/A A augmentedA
And the rain won't slack.
A augmentedA Dm/A
I'm headed down to Georgia
A augmentedA Dm/A
So don't lose track
A augmentedA Dm/A
Of where you been and where you're going now,
A augmentedA Dm/A
Who you've seen and what they lack,
A augmentedA Dm/A
And why you come undone, every time you go there,
Dm/A C/GC/G Bb/FBb/F
You come undone.
Chorus:
Dm/A C/GC/G
I know your heart's in danger
Bb/FBb/F
And so is your life.
Dm/A C/GC/G
I said you learn to trust a stranger,
Bb/FBb/F
Stop and rest for the night.
Dm/A C/GC/G
Set your site up in the headlight
Bb/FBb/F
The moon won't be enough.
Dm/A C/GC/G
Light the embers of another
Bb/FBb/F
And the night won't seem so rough,
Dm/A C/GC/G Bb/FBb/F
Sister.
Verse:
A augmentedA Dm/A
There was a bloody beast of burden
A augmentedA Dm/A
On a dark Texas road,
A augmentedA Dm/A
A augmentedA woman in the family way
A augmentedA Dm/A
And a car that lost control.
A augmentedA Dm/A
Now I'm studying the distance
A augmentedA Dm/A
Between the blanket and the gun,
A augmentedA Dm/A Dm/A C/GC/G Bb/FBb/F
I got ten miles to Natchez and another ten home.
Chorus:
Dm/A C/GC/G
I know your heart's in danger
Bb/FBb/F
And so is your life.
Dm/A C/GC/G
I said you learn to trust a stranger,
Bb/FBb/F
Stop and rest for the night.
Dm/A C/GC/G
Set your site up in the headlight
Bb/FBb/F
The moon won't be enough.
Dm/A C/GC/G
Light the embers of another
Bb/FBb/F
And the night won't seem so rough,
Dm/A C/GC/G Bb/FBb/F
Sister.
Outro:
A augmentedA Dm/A
I said it's trust that brought me here
