Standard Tuning
G D
I'm a lover of yesterday, it don't matter where I lay
C G
I've got tall boots, and memories to hold
G D
And when the sun finally sets, I can see my cigarette
C G
Burning slow like the songs on the radio
G, G/F# (this bass note walk-down happens between verse and Chorus to the Em)
Em C
Young man, seventeen, Green eyes and blue jeans and
D G G,G/F#, Em
Boots so old, all the miles they've seen
Em C
I remember holding on to every prayer I said at dawn
D G
Like get me home, I promise I'll never leave
C G D G
I promise I'll never leave, oh where would I go
C G D
Because all of these melodies are sad and cold
C G D G
and all these stories that been told
C G D
all have me growing old
G D
on the dusty hood of a car, I could hear all the stars
C G
Singing out of tune, with the moon
G D
and the song was sad as hell, and then the stars fell
C G
lighting up the road between me and you. (G G/F#, Em walkdown)
