The Passenger chords by Chris Ledoux
Guitar chords with lyrics
By Chris LeDoux
Em
It was dark and I was drivin' down a loney Texas road
Em
The night was hot and sleep pulled at my eyes
Em
I was thinkin' bout the wild times and the women that I'd had
Em
The deceitful things I'd done and those lies
D
Standin' in the shadows by the side of the road
Em
Was a figure of a withered old man
D
He wore a black bandanna a rolled brim Stetson hat
Em
With a two inch scarlet hat band
Em
He held his wrinkled hand up as a sign to shut her down
Em
So I pulled over and stopped by his side
Em
He opened up the door slid in and sat down
Em
He said my ain't it hot tonight
D
I studied this old man and it seemed mighty strange
Em
For him to be out here all alone
D
Then he started talkin' and he told me many things
Em
Of times like both of us had known
Em
He told me of the wild life and the women that he'd had
Em
How none of them had ever meant a thing
Em
And he told me of a black night much the same as this
Em
Of the strange and awesome things he'd seen
D
A man beside the road had raised his hand
Em
and flagged him down so he stopped and let him in
D
That stranger told him stories like I am hearing now
Em
Bout the wild times and all the sin
Em
Then the car got cold and clammy and this old man looked at me
Em
He said boy I've come here for you
Em
Your days of wicked sinnin' have come to an end
Em
and as mortal on this earth boy you are through
D
Then his eyes got red and fiery as he took his Stetson off
Em
To reveal his evil horns shiny and black
D
My God the fear came o'er me and my senses were all lost
Em
I fought with him until we finally crashed
Em
Next day the car was found at the bottom of a draw
Em
The young cowboy was found beside the wreck
G
His car had been consumed by fire
Em
but the cowboy had no marks
Em
Except the smokin' pitch fork brand upon his neck Last updated:
