STEEP CANYON RANGERS featuring STEVE MARTIN
 
Verse:
          D                        Bm
The last passenger to board was a biker in a tank top
           D                             Bm
While she was hiding out behind her magazine
        A                D       G
And the only empty seat was the one right there beside her
                    Gm
Four hours on that Greyhound bus
                  D    Bm   D   Bm
Bound for New Orleans
 
 
Verse:
         D                            Bm
She was surprised to find she didn’t mind touching shoulders
         D                                 Bm
And the leather that he wore was wild and sweet
A                                 G
Until the day she died she never told a single soul
                 Gm                              D
About that Louisiana night he swept her off her feet
Bm                         A        A
  Tell me how did we ever get here?
Chorus:
 G            D
History will show
           G        D
We make it up as we go
         G                A               Bm
And the heart’s the only compass you can trust
 
         G                 D
And the way from yours to mine
 G           D
Never was a straight line
        G                A                 Bm
It’s a tale of hope and fear and love and lust

Verse:
         D                          Bm
All the names I recognize as my connections and my kin
 D                             Bm
The products of a shared imagination
     A                                    G
And where we stand right now betrays the way it was back then
                     Gm                         D
So we do the best we can based on partial information
Bm                                     A
  And just when we think we’re in the clear
 
I look around and wonder
 
How the hell did we ever get here?
 
 
Chorus:
     G            D
And history will show
           G        D
We make it up as we go
         G                A               Bm
And the heart’s the only compass you can trust
 
         G                 D
And the way from yours to mine
 G           D
Never was a straight line
        G                A                 Bm   A   A
It’s a tale of hope and fear and love and lust

Bridge:
          D                               G           D
I’m in a rental car state of mind in the state of Arizona
 G                                  D
Hoping that he’ll know me at first sight
         A                     G
The DNA kit told a tale I was never meant to hear
         G            Gm             D
And the biker in the tank top’s name is Dwight
Bm                          A             A  Bm
I’ll tell you everything I know, my dear
 
 
Chorus:
 G            D
history will show
           G        D
We make it up as we go
         G                A               Bm
And the heart’s the only compass you can trust
 
         G                 D
And the way from yours to mine
 G           D
Never was a straight line
        G                A            Bm
It’s a tale of hope and fear and love and lust
 
             G               A               Bm
And all the choices that we make because we must
          G              A               Bm   Bb   Bb   D
It’s the tale of you and me and them and us
