Well, I [B] met you on a [C#m] midway [A] at a fair last [E] year
And you [B] stood out like a [C#m] ruby [A] in a black man's [E] ear
You were playing on [C#m] the horses,
[E] playing on the guitar [D]
strings

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