En Slant Til Trikken Hjem Chords by Scandinavia, Merle Haggard, Berit Faaberg

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I went home to [C] the barn, _ [A#] after dance and [F] restaurant, _ _
I was stopped by a man who was [Dm] about [C] to die.
_ _ _ _ And [F] in the light of [C] the flame, I [A#] saw a full [F] tank,
_ with a face that reminded [C] him of a hungry [F] animal.
_ _ _ _ _ I understood that he [C] was a fool, so [A#] I threw the life [F] forward, _ _
and put a crown in a ringed [C] hand.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
[F] He bowed and [C] waved, _ [A#] while he took a toothless [F] knife,
and he said, you are [C] a man of honor.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ I will sing _ [C] a song _ [A#] for you, dear [F] friend, _
if you want a chance to get [C] home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ I'm [C] not sure who [A#] you'll get [F] home _ to,
if I can get [C] a chance to get [F] home.
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ If [F#] at night at the same [C#] time, _ [B] I saw the man again,
[F#] _ _ and he was completely blind,
and he _ [D#m] _
[C#] _ _ _ stood _ _ _
[F#] _ _ there with [C#] a young man,
while [B] I was swallowing a [F#] columbine.
_ And in the eyes I saw, [C#] I heard [F#] him say,
_ _ _ I will sing [C#] a song _ [B] for you, dear [F#] friend, _
if you want a chance to get [D#m]
[C#] home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ I'm not [C#] sure who [B] you'll get _ [F#] home to, _
if I can get [C#] a chance to get [F#] home.
_ _ _ _ I will sing [C#] a song _ [B] for you, dear [F#] friend, _
if you want a chance to get [C#] home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ I'm not [C#] sure who [B] you'll get [F#] home to, _
if I [A#m] can [D#m] get [C#] a chance to get [F#] home.
_ If _ _ _ I can [D#m] get [C#] a chance to get [F#] home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
