Intro: A   Asus    A  Asus

         A                             D                    A
Shooting stars and whiskey bottles all scattered across the yard
         D                   A                                 E
I’d have stayed back home in Houston if I’d known it’d be this hard
       A                         D               A
Ah but as it is I’m busted broke down across the bay
      D                A                                  E
And I might not make December if we keep carrying on this way
       A                               D                A
Pretty girls and deep depressions keep falling from the sky
      D               A                             E
I got all the time in heaven but no sense to wonder why
        A                                  D                  A
And the nights have all gone crazy and the bars have all shut down
    D                A                                    E
One day I swear I’ll blow it all, pack up, and leave this town


        D              A        D                  A
And sometimes I get so tired of telling right from wrong
A               E                 D              A
Hey, I’m glad I came, just wish I hadn’t stayed so long


A   Asus    A  Asus

       A                      D               A
Here I am in Music City, long nights and neon signs
      D               A                            E                 
And I can’t seem to remember what I came so far to find
       A                          D             A
Police cars and paper money motel rooms and cigarettes
           D                   A                                 E
Yeah, they tell you, you ain’t nothin’ just in case you might forget
      A                             D          A                                 
I can hear the country music in the window up above
        D             A                            E               
Do they do it for the money, do they do it for the love?
        A                             D                 A               
Bourbon eyes and stolen pistols seems all that comes my way
          D                A                              E                     
I’m gonna burn down all my bridges, grab a car, and drive away


        D             A             D              A                    
And sometimes I can’t believe I did all that for a song
A               E                 D              A (solo)
Hey, I’m glad I came, just wish I hadn’t stayed so long


Solo:  A     E    D     E     D

         A              D             A
We could make Louisiana in two hours’ time
         D               A                         E
We could pull off of the highway by the big casino sign
         A                          D              A
We could take up all our wishes and bet ‘em all on black
        D               A                                E
Hit the lights of Mississippi with the south wind at our back
 

         D               A         D               A
And it’s always been the same down every road I’ve gone
A               E                 D              A
Hey, I’m glad I came, just wish I hadn’t stayed so long

I'm sure that eventually an issue will come up with the chords in the solo just like they did in my tab of Three Days, so I'll avoid the rush - all of my tabs are the rhythm guitar unless otherwise notated. In the solo of this song, the bass does some alternate notes besides just the root (if memory serves, the bass plays an Ab and an F#) during the "E" chords. Just thought I'd explain why it sounds a tiny bit different when you play. Just play the chords here, they're right, I promise.

lol :D
