_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
Carry [E] my saddle _ _ [F#m] _ by the side of [E] the road _ _ [F#m] _ _
Harder [E] rains fall _ [F#m] and the wind [E] blowin' cold
_ _ [D] East across [E] the mountain sphere [F#m] of Addis Abbey _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ Tellin' me [E] it's time to hurry [F#m] home _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ And I would [E] fly there now if [A] I [C#m] had [F#m] wings _ _ _ [D] _ No [C#] soarin' back to Tony [F#m] Paul, the headlights [E] blowin'
_ [F#m] _ And the car is [E] hurried past, _ [F#m] just like the [E] years _ [F#m] _ _ I'm rollin' [E] so fast
_ [D] _ If I can [E] get there I know [F#m] I'll be warnin' _ _ _ [D] The achin' in [E] my bones will soon [F#m] be gone _
_ I _ [A] _ [D] _ _
fear [E] the darkness of [A] this coming [F#m] storm As _ _ [D] _ _
[F#m] I journey [C#] back to Tony [F#m] Paul _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] Ooh, oh [E] the night is [F#m] fallin' _ Ooh, [E] _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ _
oh [E] hear the battle _ [D] callin'
Hot, dry [E] and wind blowin' country [F#m] _ callin' me _ _ _ _ [D] Out of the web [E] of shadows from [F#m] so _ tall
_ _ _ _ [D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blowin' country [A] I can hear you callin' me
[F#m] _ _ _ [D] Callin' _
[A] me [E] back [C#] to Tony [F#m] Paul _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
There I [E] was young, _ [F#m] _ _ there I was [E] brave _ _ [F#m] _ There was a [E] warmin' kiss [F#m] waiting at the end of the [E] day
_ [D] _ Every [E] thing I wanted I left [F#m] waiting there _ _ _ _ [D] Now I see the [E] things I never [F#m] saw _
My _ _ _ [D] _ _
dreams [E] are shattered now [A] and no one [F#m] cares _ _ [D] _ I'm [C#] going back to Tony [F#m] Paul _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] Ooh, oh _ [E] the night is [F#m] fallin' _ _ Ooh, [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ oh hear [E] the battle _ [D] callin'
Hot, dry [E] and wind blowin' country [F#m] callin' me _ Out _ [D] _ of the web [E] of shadows from so [F#m] tall _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blowin' country [A] I can hear you callin' [F#m] me
_ _ _ [D] Callin' _
[A] [C#] me back to Tony [F#m] Paul _
And _ _ _ _ [D] if I can reach [E] the desert I [A] know I'll [E] be young [F#m] again
_ [D] I'll touch my woman's [E] face And things [A] will be [E] as they [F#m] were then
Bad [D] horses [E] workin' whiskey [A] And it be [F#m] tired and sore
And [Bm] I ain't got no use _ _ Wandering in [E] the _ woe
[C#] I _ _ [F#m] _ _
turn [E] up my collar [F#m] Turn my [E] face to the wind
_ [F#m] _ Trucks [E] rumble by _ [F#m] It seems my chances [E] are slim
[D] _ East across [E] the mountains hear [F#m] the fighters sing
_ _ _ _ [D] Tellin' _ me [E] it's time to bury [F#m] it home
_ _ _ I [D] _ pick up my [E] saddle _ And [A] head for the [E]
halls [F#m] of fame
_ _ [D] Head for waiting [C#] there in Tony [F#m] Paul _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] Ooh, oh [E] the night is [F#m] fallin' _ Ooh, [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ oh [E] hear the battle callin'
[D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blowin' country [F#m] _ callin' me _ _ _ _ [D] _ Out of the web [E] of shadows from [F#m] so tall _
_ Hot, _ _ [D] _ _
dry [E] and wind blowin' country [A] I can hear you callin' [F#m] me
_ _ [D] _ _
Callin' [C#] me back to Tony [F#m] Paul _
