Chords with lyrics

Intro:

    E MajorE                     E MajorE
Well, I caught you with him on those damn, slick, sticky satin sheets

    A augmentedA          B7B7       E MajorE
Then I packed my things and then I hit the streets


Verse 1:

E MajorE           B7B7
87 southbound to San Antone

 B7B7                 E MajorE
You’ve got your baby, I got got no home

E MajorE               A augmentedA
The pavements burning down at 102

A augmentedA        E MajorE       B7B7           E MajorE
I don’t need to hear no more excuses that I don’t need you

Verse 2:

E MajorE               B7B7
Lord, the sun keeps beating me down

 B7B7          E MajorE
And it’s hotter than hell

  B7B7                 E MajorE
And if I’m lucky I’ll catch a ride but you can never tell

  A augmentedA                      E MajorE
I’d rather be here with the bugs and flies than back there hearing your alibis

 B7B7
I heard all that I’m gonna hear you say

 B7B7                    E MajorE
I’m gonna take my pride and go the other way


Instrumental:
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE x4


Verse 3:

E MajorE           B7B7
87 southbound to San Antone

 B7B7                     E MajorE
It’s getting late out, I’m 40 miles from home

E MajorE                      A augmentedA
The rain keeps falling like the tears in my eyes

 A augmentedA         E MajorE         B7B7         E MajorE
I’m just trying to wash away all the hurt from all your lies

Verse 4:

E MajorE         B7B7         E MajorE
Lightning streaks across the evening sky

  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
And if I’m lucky I’ll make it big or lay right down and die

A augmentedA                  E MajorE
I know when the morning comes I’ll still be a walking son of a gun

   B7B7
And afternoon comes rolling around

        B7B7           E MajorE
I’ll have ten more miles and one more town


Verse 5:

E MajorE           B7B7
87 southbound to San Antone

 B7B7                 E MajorE
You’ve got your baby, I’ve got no home

E MajorE            A augmentedA
The pavements burning at 92

A augmentedA        E MajorE       B7B7           E MajorE
I don’t need to hear no more excuses and I don’t love you.

A augmentedA        E MajorE       B7B7           E MajorE
I don’t need to hear no more excuses and I don’t love you.
