[intro]
The Cwhippoorwills were Gcrying in the fFalling rain F
C Far away a Gwhistle hailed a pFassing train F
Am Out in the cGountry summer was Falmost gone G
The Amfields were turning rEmusty and the hFills were turning brGown G
Now I Cthink of you when Gsummer stars are Fon the rise F
I Cthink of you with a Gbottle of wine and Flazy eyes F
Am Playing rock and rGoll songs on an Fold guitar G
Am Getting drunk and slEmeeping out in Fmy backyGsusard

G Gsus-
GNow Fsometimes I just Glie awake and IC h
The cars were all abandoned on the city streets
When snow had left us stranded then we used our feet
And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar
And now when it starts storming I wonder where you are
'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you
You said to never trust a man who sings the blues
Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need
If you found a way to love the girl in me
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo: C G F F etc.]
Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes
Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times
Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you
Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues
[Chorus]
[Fade-out: F F(9) C C(9) etc.]
