[G]Lay awake and breath while the [D]fire overtakes me
[G]Down this lonesome road. [D]Ole diesel, please take me[A] home
When the [D]curtains do close and the n[A]ight becomes old
and the [G]willing go on their [D]way
No ones in [D]sight so they shut [A]down the lights
Since the [G]bottles all have gone d[D]ry
