[G] [int[G]ro] [F(9)] [F(9)] [G] [G] [F(9)] [F(9)]
The [C]whippoorwills were [G]crying in the f[F]alling rain[F]
[C] Far away a [G]whistle hailed a p[F]assing train[F]
[Am] Out in the c[G]ountry summer was [F]almost gone[G]
The [Am]fields were turning r[Em]usty and the h[F]ills were turning br[G]own[G]
Now I [C]think of you when [G]summer stars are [F]on the rise[F]
I [C]think of you with a [G]bottle of wine and [F]lazy eyes[F]
[Am] Playing rock and r[G]oll songs on an [F]old guitar[G]
[Am] Getting drunk and sl[Em]eeping out in [F]my backy[Gsus]ard[-] [G] [Gsus] [-] [G]
Now [F]sometimes I just [G]lie awake and I[C] h[-]ea[G/B]r the w[Am]ind[-] [G]
[F]Blowing through the se[G]asons of my[C] h[-]ea[G/B]rt ag[Am]ain[-] [G]
My dr[F]eams are mostly l[G]ost and found on [Am]other streets, in [F]other towns
But [F]babe, you know, I st[G]ill look out for y[C]ou[G] [F] [F] [C] [G] [F] [F]
The cars were all abandoned on the city streets
When snow had left us stranded then we used our feet
And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar
And now when it starts storming I wonder where you are
'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you
You said to never trust a man who sings the blues
Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need
If you found a way to love the girl in me
[Cborus]
[Guitar solo: C G F F etc.]
Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes
Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times
Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you
Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues
[Cborus]
[Fade-out: F(9) F(9) C(9) C(9) etc.]
