Intro: Am,C,Dm,Am x4
Verse:
Am C
Somewhere in the dark, in a town beneath the border
Dm Am
There's a lone woman who cries in the night
C
She has been a loner ever since he's know her
Dm Am
But she keeps her loneliness out of sight
C
Somewhere at the coast near the Bay of Fundy
Dm Am
There's a place called Dorchester town
C
In a cell on a block behind the walls of the prison
Dm Am
There's a man on a real come down
Am,C,Dm,Am x2
Verse:
Am C
They had got together a long, long time ago
Dm Am
The love burned right from the start
AM C
But he was an outlaw, though he tried to change
Dm Am
He just kept breaking her heart
AM C
I don't know how it started but I do know how it ended
Dm Am
And it ended the way it is now
Am C
He's doing twenty years in the Dorchester Prison
Dm Am F
She's doing twenty years somehow
F Dm Am
If he never pulled the gun
Dm Am
He'd never end up on the run
F G Am
If she never listened to her heart
F G F Am
Why did she listen, listen to her heart
Am,C,Dm,Am x2
Verse:
Am C
Somehow the years have past
Dm Am
And two more hours he's free at last
C
He'll walk past that wall
Dm Am
Sixty miles down the road
C
She's driving north with a heavy load
Dm Am
She's not sure at all
C
Has he really changed his ways
Dm Am
Or will she only count the days
C
Until the tear drops fall
Dm Am
Or will he end up on the run
C
With his only friend called a gun
Dm Am
When he hears the outlaw call
Chorus:
