[G] [E]
[A] [E]
I met you on a [A] midway [Ab] at a fair [Gb] last year
And [B] you stood out like [A] a [Abm] ruby [A] in a black [E] man's ear
You were playing on [A] the horses
[E] You were playing on the guitar strings
You were [A] playing like the devil
[E]
Where in we, you look so grand
Oh [Em] where in [A] we, do [D] you take them to [E] your shoulder
Can you [D] fly, I heard you can
[B] Can [A] you fly,
[E] can you fly
Like [E] an eagle doing a hunting from the sky
[A] [E]
I [B] followed with the [A] sight [Ab] shows [A] to another [E] town
[Gb] And [B] I found you in a [A] trailer [Ab] [A] on the camping [E] ground
You were betting on [A] some young lover
You [E] were shaking up the dice
And [A] I thought I saw you [E] cheating once or twice
Once or twice, I heard you bick
Oh once or twice, once or twice
Were you wondering, was the gamble worth the price
Pack [D] it in, I heard you did
[E] Pack it, pack it in
Was it hard to fold a hand that you knew could win
[A]
[E] [B] So lately you've been [A] hiding
[Abm] It [A] was somewhere in the moon
And [B] I'm still at [A] these [Ab] races
[A] With my ticket stubs at ease
And a [E] voice calls [A] out the numbers
[E] And it sometimes mentions mine
And [A] I feel like I've been [E] working overtime
[D] Overtime, you know I lost my fire
[A] Overtime, [E] overtime
Always playing another hand for another dime
I'm slowing down, I'm getting tired
[Gb]
I'm slowing down,
[E] and I envy you
The valley that we've come down
Cause I'm midway down the midway
I'm slowing
[D]
[A]
[E] [B]
[A] Mmmmmmm
[Abm] Da [A] da da da da
[Gb]
[B] Da da dee dee [A] dee dee [Abm] dee dee dee
[A] Da [E]
da da da da [A]
[E] da da da da da da da da [E] da da da da da
