It was [Am]just a little while past the [Em]sunset strip
They [C]found the girl’s [G]body in an [D]open pit
Her [Am]mouth was sewn shut, but her [Em]eyes were still wide
[C]Gazing through the [G]fog to the [D]other side

They [Am]booked me on a whim and threw me [Em]deep in jail
With no [C]bail, sitting [G]silent on a [D]rusty pail
Just [Am]gazing at the marks on the [Em]opposite wall
[C]Remembering the [G]music of my [D]lover’s call

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

So you [Am]make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But they [C]say it’s never [G]too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

It was [Am]dark as the grave, it was [Em]just about three
When the [C]warden with his [G]key came to [D]set me free
They [Am]gave me five dollars and a [Em]secondhand suit
A [C]pistol and a [G]hat and a [D]worn out flute

So I [Am]took a bus down to the [Em]Rio Grande
And I [C]shot a man [G]down on the [D]edge of town
Then I [Am]stole me a horse and I [Em]rode it around
Til the [C]sheriff pulled me [G]in and he [D]sat me down

He said, [Am]you make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But [C]they say it’s [G]never too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

Well the [Am]sheriff let me go with a [Em]knife and a song
So I [C]took the first [G]train up to [D]Oregon
And I [Am]killed the first man that I [Em]came upon
Because the [C]devil works [G]quick, you know it [D]don’t take long

Then I [Am]went to the river ford to [Em]take a swim
You [C]know that black [G]river water is as [D]black as sin
And I [Am]washed myself clean as a [Em]newborn babe
And then I [C]picked up a [G]rock for to [D]sharpen my blade

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will that [C]Black River [G]water wash me [D]clean again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when

What you [G]eat and what you drink
If you [D]smoke a cigarette they'll be [A]talking about your breath

In a [D]town this size there's [G]no place to hide
Every[D]]where you go you meet [A]someone you know
You can't [D]steal a kiss in a [G]place like this
How the [D]rumors do fly in a [A]town this [D]size

[Instrumental]

Oh I [D]had a fight with my [G]girlfriend last night
Before the [D]moon went down [A]it was all over town
How he [D]made me cry how I [G]said goodbye
If it's [D]true or not doesn't [A]seem to count a lot
In a [D]town this size there's [G]no place to hide

In a [D]town this size there's [G]no place to hide
Every[D]where you go you meet [A]someone you know
You can't [D]steal a kiss in a [G]place like this
How the [D]rumors do fly in a [A]town this [D]size
In a [A]town this [D]size, in a [A]town this [D]size

Lost Highway (Hank Williams)

Chords used: D-A-A7-G



I'm a rollin' [D]stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the [A]cost [A7]
When I pass [G]by all the people [D]say
Just another guy on the [A]lost high[D]way

Just a deck of [D]cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like [A]mine [A7]
Oh the day we [G]met, I went a[D]stray
I started rolling down that [A]lost high[D]way

[D] [A] [A7]
[G] [D] [A] [D]

I was just a [D]lad, nearly 22
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like [A]you [A7]
And now I'm [G]lost, too late to [D]pray
Lord I take a cost, on the [A]lost high[D]way

Now boy's don't [D]start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow [A]bound [A7]
Take my ad[G]vice or you'll curse the [D]day
You started rollin' down that [A]lost high[D]way

Story of an Artist (Daniel Johnston)

Chords used: C-Dm



Listen up and I'll tell a [C]story, about an artist growing [Dm]old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C]bold

Everyone, and friends and [C]family, saying, "Hey! Get a [Dm]job!"
"Why do you only do that only? Why are you so [C]odd?

We don't really like what [C]you do. We don't think anyone ever [Dm]will.
It's a problem that you have, And this problem's made you [C]ill."

Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C]bold

The artist walks [C]alone. Someone said behind his [Dm]back,
"He's got gall to call himself that! He doesn't even know where he's [C]at!"

The artist walks among the [C]flowers. Appreciating the [Dm]sun
He does this all his waking hours, but is it really so [C]wrong?

They sit in front of their [C]TV, saying, "Hey! This is [Dm]fun!"
And they laugh at the artist, saying, "He doesn't know how to have [C]fun."

The best things in life are truly [C]free, singing birds and laughing [Dm]bees
"You've got me wrong," says he. "The sun don't shine in your [C]TV"

Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C]bold
