[verse] G-D-F#m-Bm
G D
So long ago I don't remember when
F#m Bm
That's when they say I lost my only friend
They said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetary trees
I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
I've long broken all of human law
It always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place
G F#m
Hey hey hey...
[chorus:] G-D-Em-A
G
Come on try a little
D
Nothing is forever
Em A
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G
Me and Cinderella
D
Put it all together
Em A
We can drive it home ... with one headlight.
[verse]
She said its cold it feels like independence day
And I can't break away from this parade
But theres got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
Saying all is good and nothing less its dead
Runnin' till she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothing left
She hit the end its just her window ledge
G F#m
Hey hey hey...
[chorus]
This place is old feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
With smells of cheap ol' wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
So alone I feel just like somebody else
Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between
These city walls and dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killing me
G F#m
Hey hey hey...
[chorus]

From the album Bringing Down the Horse
I don^Ã’t own this CD (yet) so I^Ã’m trying to work this out
from the radio. I^Ã’m not sure about the Em chords at the
ends of the verses and the end of the chorus and I don^Ã’t have
the exact words in front of me, but I think the rest is
pretty close.
Verse:
G D
So long ago, I don^Ã’t remember when
A Em
That^Ã’s when they say I lost my only friend
G D
They said she died easy of a broken heart disease
A Em
As I listen through the cemetery trees
*Use the above chord pattern for each of the verses*
I see the sun comin^Ã’ up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wonder how she hung around this place
Chorus:
G
Hey, come on try a little
D
Nothing is forever
A
There^Ã’s got to be something better than
D
In the middle
G
But me and Cinderella
D
We put it all together
A
We can drive it home
Em
With one headlight
Verse:
She said it^Ã’s cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can^Ã’t break away from this parade
But there^Ã’s got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I see the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin^Ã’ all there^Ã’s good and nothingness is dead
We^Ã’ll run until she^Ã’s out of breath
She ran until there^Ã’s nothin^Ã’ left
She hit the end- it^Ã’s just her window ledge
Chorus:
Verse:

I^Ã’m so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Subject: TAB - One Headlight Wallflowers
I posted a simple CRD version of this & I've since had several
requests for TAB. I have a poor tape version of this song, so the TAB
won't be accurate in some spots. In addition, the lyrics are pure
guesses in a few spots. It's a good song to do some simple original
lead work, especially with bottleneck, so just use this as a starting
point. Altho' I'm a guitar player, what really makes the song for me
is the organ part - a copy of some old Garth Hudson work with the
Band.

But there's got to be an opening
