[E] [A] [E]
[A] [E]
Well I met you on a [C#m] midway [A] at a [C#] fair [E] last year
[A]
[E] [F#m] [E] And you stood out like [C#m] a ruby [F#m] [G#] in a black [E] man's [A] ear
[C#m] You were [D] [Em] playing on [C#m] the horses,
[E] playing on the guitar [D] [E] strings
[F#m] [D] You [C#m] were playing like a devil, wearing [E] [A] wings
[E] [F#m] Wearing wings, you looked so [G] [D] grand, [C#m] wearing
[E] wings
Do you [Bm] tie them to your [C#m] shoulder [E] just to sing?
Can [D] you [E] fly?
[D] I heard [G] you [D] can
Can [C#m] you fly [A] just
[E] [F#m] [E] like an eagle [C#m] doing his hunting [E] from the sky?
[A]
[E]
[B] I followed [C#m] through a sideshow [A] [G#m] to another [E] town
[B]
[C#m] [B] And I found you [C#m] in a trailer [D] [C#m] on a [E] camping [A]
ground
[E] You [A] [D] were betting [E]
on [C#m] some lover, [E] shooting out the [F#] [D] dice
And [C#m] I thought I saw you cheating
[E] once or twice
[D] Once or twice, [F#m] I [G] heard you did
[D]
[C#m] Once or twice, [A]
[E] [D] were you wondering was [C#m] the gamble [E] worth the price?
[A]
[C#m] Now you've [D] backed it in, I heard [G] you did
[F#m] Backed it [E] in
Was it [Bm] so hard to fold [E] a hand you knew could [A] win?
[E]
[C#m] [D] [E]
[F#m]
[B] [C#] Lately you've [C#m] been hiding, [A] it was [C#m] somewhere [F#m] in [E] the news
[B] Well I'm still at [C#m] these races [D] with my [C#m] ticket [E] stubs and my blues
[D] The man calls out [C#m] the numbers, [E] he sometimes [Bm] mentions [G]
mine
[F#m] [Bm] [C#m] But I feel like I've been working overtime
[E]
[G#] Overtime, I've [G] lost my [Bm] fire, [C#m] overtime
[A] [E] Overtime, [D] always playing one [A] more hand for one [E] more dime
Well I'm [D] slowing down, I'm getting [G] [A] tired, [C#m] slowing [E] down
And [D] I envy you, [A] the valley [E] that you found
[F#m] Cause [E]
I'm midway, [F#m] [D] [C#m] down the middle way, [A]
[E] slowing down, [D]
down
