Chords for Dwight Yoakam with Ry Cooder

_ It's a thrill for me to get to work with Ry Cooter.
For those of you that know, [F] Ry is an extremely talented [D] musician.
[A] And I have to say on his behalf that [F] it's not because of me that he's out here,
it's because he was _ such a big fan of Gene Autry,
Roy Rogers, and all the singing cowboys that he called and expressed that he really wanted to do this with me.
[N] I thank him for doing it, and I think it's a great tribute to Gene and those folks that he put out to do this.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I came here looking for something I [E] _
couldn't find [A] anywhere else _ _
Hey, I'm not trying [C#] to be [D] nobody [F#m] I [E] _
just want a place to [A] be myself _ _ _
Been a thousand miles above [D] my_ _
[E] [Am] Yes, I've worn blisters [A] on my heels _ _
It's trying to find me [D] something better
_ [E] _
There on the streets of [A] Blakersfield
_ You _ don't know [D] me but you don't like me
[E] You see you [A] care less how I feel _ _
How many of you listen [D] to just me
[E] Every walk the [A] streets of Blakersfield _
Spend some time in [D] San Francisco _ _
[E] _ Spend a night there in the [A] camp _ _
_ Lived through this drug [D] man in my jail cell
[E] Took fifty dollars [A] from that man _ _
_ [Am] Left him my [A] watch and my old [D] house
_ [A] _
[E] _ Don't want folks thinking that [A] I'd steal _
Then I landed in a [D] metal room _
[F#] [E] And I headed out to [A] Blakersfield _
You _ don't know [D] me but you don't like me
[F#] [E] You see you care less how [A] I feel _ _
How many of you [D] listen to just [A] me
[E] Every walk the streets of [A] _ Blakersfield
You don't know me [D] but you don't like me
[E] You see you [A] care less how I feel
How _ many of you [D] listen to just [C#m] me
[F#] [E] Every walk the streets of [A] Blakersfield _
How many of you listen [D] to just me _
[E] Every walk the streets of _ [A] Blakersfield _
_ Thank _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ you.

_ _ [G#m] She [A] wore red dresses _
With [E] her black shining _ hair _
Oh she [B] had my baby
And _ _ [E] caused me to care
_ Coldly _ she [A] left me
To _ suffer [E] and cry
Oh _ she [B] wore red dresses
_ And _ told such [E] sweet lies _ _ _ _

I [A] never knew him
_ _ _ But he [E] took her away
_ _ _ On my knees like [B] a mad man
_ _ For the [E] vengeance I prayed
_ For the pain [A] and the sorrow
_ _ _ _ Destroyed [E] my weak mind
_ _ _ Oh she [B] wore red dresses
_ _ Left the world and me [E] _ behind
Play something along for me boys _ _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Searched till I [A] found him
Then _ _ I cursed at [E] the sight
Of _ their sleeping [B] shadow
In _ the cold neon [E] light
_ _ _ [G#] In the dark morning [A] silence
I _ _ placed the gun to [E] her head
_ Oh she wore [B] red dresses
But _ _ [E] now she lay dead
