Chords with lyrics

Intro:

E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE

Verse:

 BB      A augmentedA  G# minorG#m  A augmentedA     E MajorE
I met you on a midway at a fair last year
    D MajorD        A augmentedA G# minorG#m A augmentedA         E MajorE
And you stood out like a ruby  in a black man's ear
     D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE               D MajorD
You were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings
     A augmentedA              E MajorE
You were playing like a devil wearing wings

Chorus:

    D MajorD
Wearing wings
              A augmentedA  E MajorE
You looked so grand wearing wings
    D MajorD                 E MajorE
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing?
    D MajorD
Can you fly?
             A augmentedA  E MajorE
I heard you can! Can you fly?
    D MajorD                 E MajorE
Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky

Bridge:

D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE

Verse:

 BB         A augmentedA  G# minorG#m A augmentedA     E MajorE
I followed with the sideshows to another town
   BB        A augmentedA G# minorG#m     A augmentedA   E MajorE
And I found you in a trailer  on the camping grounds
     D MajorD       A augmentedA        E MajorE       D MajorD
You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice
   A augmentedA                 E MajorE
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice

Chorus:

    D MajorD
Once or twice
             A augmentedA  E MajorE
I heard your bid once or twice
     D MajorD                 E MajorE
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
    D MajorD
Pack it in
             A augmentedA  E MajorE
I heard you did! Pack it in
    D MajorD                 E MajorE
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win

Bridge:

D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE

Verse:

  BB         A augmentedA G# minorG#m A augmentedA            E MajorE
So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
  BB         A augmentedA G# minorG#m   A augmentedA           E MajorE
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
   D MajorD         A augmentedA        E MajorE         D MajorD
And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
And I feel like I've been working overtime

Chorus:

  D MajorD
Overtime
           A augmentedA E MajorE
I've lost my fire overtime
    D MajorD                 E MajorE
Always playin' one more hand for one more dime
    D MajorD
Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired!
    A augmentedA E MajorE
Slowin' down
   D MajorD               E MajorE
And I envy you the valley that you've found
      D MajorD
'Cause I'm midway down the midway
    E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA  E MajorE  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Slowin' down, down, down, down
