This is a great track off of David Gray's web exclusive live covers album "A Thousand Behind." Originally performed by Waylon Jennings I'm a little iffy on some of the lyrics Capo 4 Tuning: Standard 3/4 Timing Intro: |G|G|G|G| Verse 1: G C This world that I live in is empty and cold This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul G I’m no child of destiny D No fortune son I’ve chased you so long G I’m too weak to run [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/david-gray/115331.html ] Verse 2: same as V.1 And here I return to a backstreet of thrill Back to any warm shoulder till she’s got her fill And then I treat shame like some old friend from home Who I can lean on till the misery is gone Chorus 1: G C A new day is here, but nothing is new D G |G|G|G| But you’re still gone, still I tremble for you Verse (same as 1 and 2): I cry out at bedtime: “oh please not tonight” Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light Of course you’re never there, No you never are And I try to forget to that there’s always a bar Chorus 2: G Though I win that battle C And sometimes I do, D (tempo slows down) G (strum once and hold) Still sleep doesn’t come, and I tremble for you very nice, simple progression found in a lot of country western songs |
