Intro: G 

G                                                    C 
There's a train out on the mainline, climbin' Tehachapi 
                            G                               D 
There's a place across the railroad tracks, they call eternity 
G                                                    C 
Somewhere there's a jukebox, and a cowboy shootin' pool 
                  G               D                  G 
Street narcotics in his socks, no thread left on the spool 

              C                         G 
Oh there's a fire in the desert, and a whiskey on the wind 
                                  D7      D 
I must say it's been a pleasure, adios my friend 
G                                          C 
All that's left is a promise and a pack of matches 
                             G 
For the sequin ghost in Buck Owens' clothes 
D                      G 
And rhinestones in the ashes 

So long city of Angels, speckled bird spread your wings 
Braid me a halo from Gene Norman's guitar strings 
There's no spirit in the ember, just a sweet song on the breeze 
A station wagon zigzagging through the Joshua Tree 

Oh there's a fire in the desert, and a whiskey on the wind 
I must say it's been a pleasure, adios my friend 
All that's left is a promise and a pack of matches 
For the sequin ghost in Buck Owens' clothes 
And rhinestones in the ashes 
The sequin ghost in Buck Owens' clothes 
And rhinestones in the ashes
