Verse 1:
  G+G   G+G C majorC
New Mexico
        G+G   G+G C majorC
Down on Central Avenue
     G+G     G+G C majorC
Where the old highway
    G+G       G+G C majorC
It goes running through
       D MajorD    D MajorD
And all that I can do
     E minorEm  B minorBm C majorC
All that I can do
         G+G G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
Is just think of you
   G+G     G+G C majorC G+G
With someone new

Verse 2:
          C majorC       G+G         G+G C majorC
I got a job waiting tables in the middle of the night
    G+G         C majorC
See the sunrise in my rear view mirror
            G+G        G+G C majorC
And wake up to see the last of its light
   D MajorD     D MajorD
But I don’t mind
  E minorEm    B minorBm C majorC
No I don’t mind
         G+G             D MajorD
Because that hot desert sun beating down on this side of town
    C majorC    G+G      G+G C majorC G+G
Well it ain’t a pretty sight

Verse 3:
            C majorC                 G+G  G+G C majorC
A augmentedA few old men and some young drunks they’ll try to make a pass
      G+G          C majorC
But I just have to  look them straight in the eye
     G+G          G+G C majorC
And I say please don’t even ask
          D MajorD   D MajorD
‘Cause there is no one who
     E minorEm    G+G C majorC
There is no one whooo
      G+G       G+G D MajorD
Can make my tired old life
   C majorC  G+G     G+G C majorC G+G
Seem new and unused

Verse 4:
          E minorEm                    G+G
And I guess there’s always gotta be someone out on the highway

Laying down all that tar
E minorEm                      G+G
Always gotta be someone serving up the drinks

Down at the bar
  E minorEm                 G+G  G+G E minorEm
But I don’t want to be slaving my life away
    C majorC                D MajorD            G+G  C majorC G+G B minorBm G+G
If it’s just to pay for all the things I never knew quite how to say

Verse 5:
              C majorC      G+G  G+G C majorC
Dirty old blackbird landed on my window sill
       G+G           C majorC         G+G       G+G C majorC
I didn’t want him to leave so I sat there watching him perfectly still
     D MajorD      D MajorD
Until he finally flew
    E minorEm   B minorBm  C majorC
When he finally flew
      G+G                D MajorD
I asked him to cut a hole in the morning sky
   C majorC      G+G
That I could pass right on through
