G                           C9           G         C9 
Horse and the Crow were some pretty good friends         
G              C9         G         C9 
Living from the same suit-case 
G                   C9                    G     C9 
They spoke in tongs that we couldn’t understand  
    G                 C9          G             C9 
But that’s the way it was back in those days 
    G               C9                          G                    C9 
And all that summer long                they were driving through the south 
     G        C9                                G              C9  
From China to Bolivia                   they were living hand to mouth 
              D                                C9               G      C9     G 
And they were careless then             and that road went on and on 
            C9                          D                         G     C9 
Well it's a wonder and a shame          All those crazy days have gone 

G   C9      G   C9      G   C9       

G                    C9                           G              C9 
First this happened, that happened      and every-thing changes 
G                 C9       G         C9 
The Crow she took off in a straight line 
G            C9                       G              C9 
Even the horse took a job      making twenty bucks a day 
G              C9              G           C9 
And for reason started looking for a sign 
     G             C9                         G         C9 
When everywhere he looked,              every-thing was white 
     G                C9                        G             C9 
Some-times he thought he saw            something moving in the night 
              D                                C9               G      C9     G 
And they were careless then             and that road went on and on 
            C9                          D                         G     C9 
Well it's a wonder and a shame          All those crazy days have gone 

G   C9      G   C9      G   C9       

G               C9               G            C9 
Seemed like the hours they could measure into weeks 
G              C9          G      C9 
The Crow’s Horse since was dead 
G                C9                      G            C9  
Passing through the capitals of the west-ern worlds unleashed 
    G                 C9                  G        C9 
She was headed for Las Vegas to put every-thing on red 
     G                C9                      G             C9 
This world sets a price on love they kind you can’t forget 
         G               C9                G               C9 
Through the ending of this story,       it hasn’t happened yet 
              D                                  C9               G      C9     G 
And they were careless then             and that road went on and on 
            C9                          D                         G     C9 
Well it's a wonder and a shame          All those crazy days have gone
