Verse:
     Dsus2               C6/9       Em7  Em7-5
     I'm falling off the barstool mama  ...
     Dsus2             C6/9       Em7   Em7-5
     In this old ghost town     saloon ...
     Dsus2          C6/9       Em7                Em7-5
     Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room
     Dsus2  C6/9      Em7   Em7-5
     Oh      my sweet mama ...
     Dsus2            C6/9       Em7  Em7-5
     If you could only see me    now ...
     Dsus2        C6/9        Em7         Em7-5
     Drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown

Chorus:
     G6/F        A7sus4       Cadd9 Em7
     This        blue         ink   ...
     G6/F        A7sus4       Cadd9 Em7
     This        blue         ink
     G6/F        A7sus4       Cadd9 Em7
     This        blue         ink   Across the page I
     G6/F        A7sus4       Cadd9 Em7
     write       to           you   ...

Verse:
     Dsus2                C6/9          Em7       Em7-5  Dsus2
     I'm sitting in these thorny cowboy boots and scabby knees
                     C6/9          Em7       Em7-5  Dsus2
     Wondering why I left you mama just to do as I please
            C6/9       Em7            Em7-5                 Dsus2
     No hat has a brim wide enough to block out the blazing sun
                            C6/9       Em7         Em7-5  Dsus2
     I met the devil on the road but I had no legs to run

Chorus:
     G6/F        A7sus4   Cadd9 Em7
     This        blue     ink   ...
     G6/F        A7sus4   Cadd9 Em7
     This        blue     ink
     G6/F        A7sus4   Cadd9 Em7
     This        blue     ink   Across the page I
     G6/F        A7sus4   Cadd9 Em7
     write       to       you   ...

Bridge:
    Dsus2          G6/F                 Cadd9                        G
    Silver ran off two towns ago I been walking alone I been walking slow
    Dsus2            G6/F                Cadd9                         G
    My eyes are dry from the desert wind I know I ain't coming home to you

Outro:

   Dm          Am                     C    G
     I'll take off into the deep blue sky ...
   Dm                  Am                    C    G
     When I'm dead and gone and the buzzards fly ...
   Dm          Am                    C        G
     This blue ink across the page I write to you
   Dm            Am                      C           G
     Mama if you love me you're the only one who do ...
