Capo 7

          G                  C                   G   G/F#  
Well they played your songs again tonight at the bar
                Em                             Am
Where I host an open stage for a little bit of extra change
         D                        C               G
But it's never enough to fill the tank up on your car
         G           C               G   G/F#
And your words echo 'round here everyday
                      Em                               Am
Through these rolling hills, from troubadours and from shills
         D                     C                        G    G/F# 
From the big dancehalls to the little small stages they play


Chorus:
       D            C              G     G/F#
Well I never got to meet Pancho or Lefty
      Em           C            D
But I have seen it snowing on Raton
        G   C               G     G/F# Em
And the way you keep comin' at me
         Am               D        G     G/F#  Em  Am D    
Makes it feel like you're not even gone


The pains of your ghost haunt those who believe
In the mystic powers of these few fragile hours
That we can create something lasting before we leave
As for me, I really just don't know
All these idols are made out of clay and even the brightest stars fade
And the only thing I believe in anymore is the road

Chorus

Bridge:
Bm                                G        G/F#
I've always been a big fan of the mystery
             Em           C             D
Of how these images dance in and out of view
C                         G     G/F#  Em 
But it's so hard being an actor
           Am                  D  
Playing himself in a sequel to you


So I played some of your songs tonight at the bar
When the people asked to hear something that lasts
They don't really know me but they remember who you are
And that's how I'll go on marking my time
Until it comes to pass, the shadow I might cast
Looks less like yours and a little bit more like mine


Chorus
