That Song About The Midway
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
D C G D
[Verse 1]
A G D
I met you on a midway at a fair last year
A G D
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
C G
You were playing on the horses
D C
You were playing on the guitar strings
G D
You were playing like a devil wearing wings
[Chorus]
C
Wearing wings, you looked so grand
G D
Wearing wings___
C G D
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing?
C
Can you fly?
I heard you can
G D
Can you fly___?
C G D C G D
Like an eagle, doing your hunting from the sky
[Verse 2]
A G D
I followed with the sideshows to another town
A G D
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
C G
You were betting on some lover
D C
You were shaking up the dice
G D
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice
[Chorus]
C
Once or twice
G D
I heard your bid once or twice___
C G D
Were you wondering, was the gamble worth the price
C
Pack it in
I heard you did
G D
Pack it in___
C G D C G D
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win?
[Verse 3]
A G D
So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
A G D
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
C G
And a voice calls out the numbers
D C
And it sometimes mentions mine
G D
And I feel like I've been working overtime
[Chorus]
C
Overtime
G D
I've lost my fire overtime___
C G D
Always playing one more hand for one more dime
C
Slowing down
I'm getting tired
G D
Slowing down___
C G D
And I envy you the valley that you've found
C
'Cause I'm midway down the midway
D C G D
Slowing down, down, down____
