Verse 1:

    B minorBm A augmentedA  D MajorD    A augmentedA
I'm the son of a highway daughter
G+G    A augmentedA  D MajorD
Born in gasoline
 D MajorD     A augmentedA      B minorBm    A augmentedA
I traced the steps of my foolish father
  G+G            A augmentedA
And danced with the devil in Galilee
     D MajorD  A augmentedA    B minorBm      A augmentedA
It was a cold winter, ice above the water
  G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
And nails stuck between my toes
  D MajorD    A augmentedA     B minorBm    A augmentedA
So I cried out and I buried my doubt
      G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
And all the women along the road

Verse 2:
      G+G
And I went down to Dublin County
       D MajorD    A augmentedA     G+G
Where I found God in a bottle of wine
   G+G            A augmentedA
And I headed up north thinking I could find
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G
Any work or peace of mind
    B minorBm           A augmentedA    D MajorD
Nobody sells that around here too much anymore


Verse 3:

 B minorBm   A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD
I woke up stoned with a bag of bones
G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD
Laying in my bed
    D MajorD     A augmentedA       B minorBm    A augmentedA
She was breathing fire, I was a worn out tire
G+G            A augmentedA
Trying to brush her ash outside of my head
     D MajorD  A augmentedA   B minorBm       A augmentedA
It was an easy game, nothing in the chase
    G+G        A augmentedA      B minorBm
Needed something just a little more cold
   D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm   A augmentedA
So I traded her in for a bag of sin
   G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
And I headed on down the road

Verse 4:
     G+G
And I got lost in California
        D MajorD       A augmentedA    G+G
Where I'd been waiting on the days to rain
     G+G          A augmentedA
But I was looking to find any reason to hide
    D MajorD  A augmentedA   G+G
But no reason ever came
        B minorBm           A augmentedA
And all of the lonesome sounds of the streetlight
    G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
Pushing strangers along their way


Bridge:

G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G

            A augmentedA
That town kept calling me
            G+G
That town kept calling me
            A augmentedA
That town kept calling me
              G+G
But, that town kept calling me
            A augmentedA
That town kept calling me
            G+G
That town kept calling me
              A augmentedA
That town kept calling me, yeah

Yeah, yeah
