Timmins and The Cowboy Junkies, from the album Caution Horses submitted and transcribed in June 1998 by Brent Wood, bwood@artcenter.edu C Am F C There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long. C F G Quarters piled high upon the table. C Am F C And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile. C Am G He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable." C Am F C But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story Am F G That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes C Am F C Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night. C Am G Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes. Am F And where are you tonight? Am F When I left you in my dreams last night, C G F You promised me that we would be breaking free. F G Am Where are you tonight? C Am F C And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long. C Am G And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever. C Am F C And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun. C Am G And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender. C Am But as I catch us in the barroom mirror F C with his arm around my shoulder, C Am G This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar. C Am F C And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side, C Am G She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar, Am F And where are you tonight? Am F I don't think I can face tomorrow's light, C G Am (hold) Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me. Em F And where are you tonight? Em F I think I can make it through all right, F Em Am (hold) But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me. These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
