Lonely East TX Nights by Whiskey Myers
This is a great tune by one of my favorite TX bands.
The Em7 in this tune can be easily replaced with an Em if you prefer.
The D in this song is accented with a Dsus2 and
Dsus4 (D - Dsus2 - Dsus4 - D) or (D -
Dsus2 - D - Dsus4). Whichever you prefer.
Tuning: Standard
Intro: Em7, Cadd9, D
[Em7]Same old [Cadd9]song on the ra[D]dio tonight
[Em7]One about [Cadd9]wine and roses and candl[D]elight
[Em7]But I'm getting[Cadd9] all from you with ev[D]ery town that I play
[Em7]Maybe this d[Cadd9]istance is more than w[D]e can take
Break (2X):
Em7, Cadd9 D
[Em7]Somewhere[Cadd9] in east Texas your o[D]ut alone
[Em7]But I can?t[Cadd9] dry your tears on the tele[D]phone
[Em7]But I'm c[Cadd9]oming back to you I sw[D]ear I?ll make it right
[Em7]I?m making my[Cadd9] way back home on a r[D]ed eye midnight flight
Chorus:
[Em7]Oooo? [Cadd9] baby here I'm comin' h[D]ome
[Em7]Cause I can't [Cadd9]love you on the tele[D]phone
