CAPO: 6th Fret
INTRO: C G C G C
Sitting in a [F]motel
On the [G]outskirts of Ra[C]ton
[Am]How the years have [F]flown since Townes
[G]Passed through these hills a[Am]lone
[F]I got someone who [C]loves me
But [G]it's too [Em]late to [F]phone
I wanna [G]ride this road for[C]ever
And I'm [Am]dying[Em] to go [C]home
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
Out there on the [F]interstate
The [G]hurrying of the [C]cars
[Am]High above room [F]28
The [G]swirling of the [Am]stars
And I [F]draw the vinyl [C]curtains
Like a [G]veil a[Em]cross my [F]skin
I [G]turn the bedside [C]lamp down
And I [Am]let my [Em]shado[F]ws in
BRIDGE:
'Cause I feel so [C]full and[G]
So empty [C]handed
In a [F]world so [C]cruel
I don't [Em]think I under[F]stand it
Are we still the [C]fools who
[G]Don't know [Em]right from [F]wrong
Here at [G]mid[C]night [Em]on [G]Ra[F]ton?
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
I find a crumpled [F]napkin
And I [G]fumble for a [C]pen
[Am]Chase a fleeting [F]moment
Like it [G]was my long lost [Am]friend
And I [F]curl up 'neath the [C]blankets
And I [G]dream un[Em]til the [F]dawn
But, come [G]morning I'll be [C]through these [Em]hills and [F]gone
Come [G]morning I'll be [C]through these [Em]hills and [F]gone
