Where Are You Tonight Cowboy Junkies
written by M. Timmins and The Cowboy Junkies,
submitted and transcribed in June 1998
There's a [C]young man in the cor[Am]ner, playing crazy [F]all night long.[C]
[C]Quarters piled hi[F]gh upon the tabl[G]e.
And he o[C]rders Wild T[Am]urkey wit[F]h a quick wit an[C]d a smile.
He [C]says "my darling, you're the one [Am]I'll drape in sable."[G]
But his b[C]aseball cap, and his barr[Am]oom rap tell me a d[F]ifferent story[C]
That [Am]this is n[F]ot my prince to gra[G]nt all my wishes
Just [C]another lonely co[Am]untry boy, grown weary[F] of the night.[C]
Just [C]another boy, with a sin[Am]k full of dirty dishes[G].
[Am]And where are you to[F]night?
[Am]When I left you in my d[F]reams last night,
You [C]promised me that w[G]e would be breakin[F]g free.
[F]Where are y[G]ou toni[Am]ght?
And he t[C]ells me of the bac[Am]kroads, and I will ride t[F]hem all night long.[C]
[C]And the days of fate and the moon[Am] will hang foreve[G]r.
And a [C]cloud of dust [Am]will kick up a[F]nd linger like[C] a sun.
And the m[C]yth will grow about the two [Am]who refused to[G] surrender.
But as I c[C]atch us in the bar[Am]room mirror
with his [F]arm around my sho[C]ulder,
[C]This girl I see has gr[Am]own so unfamiliar.[G]
And [C]as she stands to le[Am]ave with a stra[F]nger by her[C] side,
She [C]can't help but laugh at a life[Am] turned so peculiar,[G]
[Am]And where are you to[F]night?
[Am]I don't think I can f[F]ace tomorrow's light,
C G Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
[Em]And where are you to[F]night?
[Em]I think I can make it thr[F]ough all right,
F Em Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
