Intro:
E D A E

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

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

Interlude:
D A E

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

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

Interlude:
D A E

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

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