Words
1. A Desert road from Vegas to nowhere,
Some place better than where you've been,
A coffee machine that needs some fixing,
In a little cafe' just around the bend.
I am calling you, i know you hear me,
I am calling you.
2. A hot dry wind blows right through me,
The baby's crying and I can't sleep,
But we both know that a change is coming,
Coming closer, sweet release.
And I am calling you, i know you hear me,
I am calling you,
Oooh, yeah. (B7, E7)
.Bridge
.Chorus
3. Desert road from Vegas to nowhere,
Somewhere better than where you've been,
But we both know that a change is coming,
Coming closer around the bend.
4. A hot dry wind blows right through me,
The baby's crying and I can't sleep,
But we both know that a change is coming,
Coming closer, sweet release
And I am calling you, don't you hear me
I am calling you..............

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little café just around the bend
I am calling you
Can't you hear me
I am calling you
A hot dry wind blows right through me
Your baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we all know a change is coming
Coming closer, sweet release
I am calling you
I know you hear me
I am calling you
Oh, whoa, yeah. Oh
I am calling you
I am calling you
A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little café just around the bend
A hot dry wind blows right through me
Your baby's crying; I can't sleep
Oh, but we all, we all, we all know a change is coming
Coming closer; sweet release, sweet release, sweet
I am calling you
I know, I know you hear me
I am calling you
Oh

CHORUS
These are the brilliant chord voicings. Buckley strums the notes again
here and there, but these notes are the essential ones.
The notes in parentheses ( ) are cool extra notes.
