   C         F         G        (play same chords for each line of this block of lyrics) 
The air was cold that morning 
and the coffee tasted black 
He said play us a song, you're a first here,  
and I don't think that's too much to ask. 
But lonely and scared we declined here.  
Said maybe on my way back. 
But I've got mountains to cross before moonshine,  
and already a weight on my back. 

          C          F            A             G 
We tiptoed stumbling across at a heartbreaking speed,  
          C            F         G 
passed the parking lot on to the highway. 
       C            F            A               G 
And to mumble one's thoughts is a heartbreaking deed. 
       A                        G 
Maybe just one of you could go my way. 

               C           F         G 
He closed his eyes on the side of a church, right side of Tennessee 
    C                 F            G 
But never slept that well next to strangers, anyway. 
       C              F               G                               C 
Waved goodbye to the footpath, colder now than he had grown to believe 
           F           G                        C  F  G  C  F  G 
One more cigarette to chase these night fears away. 

        C             F            G 
Yes, you can take me home, but I will not buy you dinner. 
       C                 F             G                                  C 
Well, I better head back now, lack of sleep has caused my blood to grow thinner 
           F                G 
And these mountain roads can be quite treacherous 
         C               F                  G                        C  F  G 
Step back sir - I may be small, but I can put up quite a fuss right now. 
                   C F G                           C F G                     C F G 
I hate this part of town. Where every shop's closed down. I hate this part of town. 
      C F G                   C F G                           C F G                     C F G 
Right now, I hate this part of town. Where every shop's closed down. I hate this part of town.
