Verse 1:
    G                                          F        Am
The sun, the moon and the stars, they make the wind blow
Em                                   C
It took me twenty years to understand
    G                              F          Am
But lost to me is how the lives of friends go
     Em                            C
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind

Chorus:
       G       C     D/F# G        C   D/F#
But it made me strong to  be on my own
         G         C   D/F# G         C
It never did me no harm to  live all alone
        D                   D#
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening
D                           C                         G          A#  C  D# F
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few


Verse 2:
     G                              F       Am
This afternoon was cloudy and the rains came
Em                              C
Third day of my first day San Miguel
           G                           F         Am
Seems that lately that I'm doubling as storm bait
          Em                                   C
I've been followed like a shadow since the dell


Chorus:
       G       C     D/F# G        C   D/F#
But it made me strong to  be on my own
         G         C   D/F# G         C
It never did me no harm to  live all alone
        D                   D#
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening
D                           C                         G
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few

Am  Em    C    G
F  Am  Em    C


Verse 3:
     G                                   F          Am
Dear friendships and relations, see what I have done
     Em                             C
I've gathered all my fingers in one place
         G
And they breathe a breath that's deadly stale
F                   Am
Since they tooled a song for me
          Em                            C
I guess mechanics never really set the pace


Chorus:
        G            C      D/F#
But I'm back and I'm strong
      G         C   D/F# G        C  D/F#
Never did me no harm  to be on my own
   G         C
To live all alone
    D                   D#
But now and then in the color of the evening
D                             C                         G
Drunken in a barroom with the fan turning, I've come to miss a few


Outro:
A#  C  D#  F  G
