Intro: C, Am, F, G, C x 3 

C                                  Am 
My lady left her lamplight burning praying for my safe return 
     F              G                 C 
In a moment I'll be nothing more than gone 
         C                                Am 
Well the highway turns and burns its greed fulfilling every sinner's need 
F              G             C 
Slowly turning pilgrims into pawns 
   C                               Am 
So I'm out the door and in my truck she wishes me the best of luck 
    F        G               C 
And waves as I pull down the drive 
    C                              Am 
And I'm swallowed up into the night safe behind these dashboard lights 
F                G           C 
I thank God that somehow I'm still alive 

Am      G              C 
And the moon is almost full tonight 
Am    G                 C                 F 
I can see for miles and miles beneath its light 
         F               G                 C 
Yeah the coyotes must be crazy down in the countryside 
Am     G              C 
And my heart it is on fire it seems 
Am      G         C                F 
Burning images of my old childhood dreams 
         F                           G 
And they swell like an angel born in flight 
                        C 
Like the moon is almost full tonight 

first interlude: C, Am, F, G, C x 2 

         C                                 Am 
Well the night cruised by in awesome wonder cast beneath the rolling thunder 
     F           G                  C 
As I cut a path across these golden fields 
C                                    Am 
Thoughts of her go floating backwards hoping happy ever afters 
    F                      G                 C 
And raindrops from heavens rafters are on my windshield 
C                                    Am 
Well lets turn into a new day darling try to hear your own heart calling 
    F                 G             C 
The time is now there is no time to wait 
C                                Am 
Follow on that path you've chosen slowly melting come unfrozen 
F                         G    C 
Releave your guard of its duty at your gate 

Am      G              C 
And the moon is almost full tonight 
Am    C                 G                 F 
I can see for miles and miles beneath its light 
         F               G                 C 
Yeah the coyotes must be crazy down in the countryside 
Am     G              C 
And my heart it is on fire it seems 
Am      G         C                F 
Burning images of my old childhood dreams 
         F                           G 
And they swell like an angel born in flight 
                        C 
Like the moon is almost full tonight 

Solo: Am for six bars and then F, G into the intro 


C                                  Am 
My lady left her lamplight burning praying for my safe return 
     F              G                 C 
In a moment I'll be nothing more than gone
