[D]
As a psychedelic cowboy [Em] left impressions on [A] a half-empty bar room he [D] just played.
And a hippie girl from Austin [Em] waited patiently in [A] the alley to fulfill the plans [D] they'd made.
They drove the stew to Baker [Em] toward the sunrise.
[A] Then pulled into the Cactus Tree [D] Motel.
The sky glowed like [Em] mescaline around them.
As they [A] promised love no love song could [D] fulfill.
If you ever [G] leave I'm [D] going [A] with you.
As a psychedelic cowboy [Em] left impressions on [A] a half-empty bar room he [D] just played.
And a hippie girl from Austin [Em] waited patiently in [A] the alley to fulfill the plans [D] they'd made.
They drove the stew to Baker [Em] toward the sunrise.
[A] Then pulled into the Cactus Tree [D] Motel.
The sky glowed like [Em] mescaline around them.
As they [A] promised love no love song could [D] fulfill.
If you ever [G] leave I'm [D] going [A] with you.

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ Words [G] whispered softly in the [A] night. _
_ _ _ That [D] we may have been high _ [G] when we rode it in the sky.
But [Em] I'll keep that promise [A] with me till [D] I die. _
_ _ _ _ A wild painted pony _ [Em] crossed the highway. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] An omen _ that we both thought [D] was good. _
_ _ _ _ Like a morning _ _ lullaby _ [Em] or an eagle as she flies.
