Desert moon,
[C#m] lights the freeway [D] up tonight
She'll [Bm] [A] be there, how [C#m] I wish that [A] you [D] could fly
Gotta
[E] get to her and tell her I [F#m] was wrong
But [E] I'm still such a long, long way [F#m] from home
And the road [Bm] goes on, [D] on and on, on [E] and on
[F#m] But the light of the dawn is breaking, [A] will soon be shining bright
[G] Like a diamond in [D] the desert, [A] like a beacon in the night
And [D] I want you to take me back, [A] will she and her man
Who were the lights of [D]
Albuquerque, [E] shine for me [F#m]
[G#] again
[F#m]
Thinking [G#] [A]
back [D] to [A] [C#m] the foolish things [D] I said
Looking [A] out [D] [A]
[C#m] at the white [F#m] lines [D] up ahead
[E] Gonna tell her I can't make it on [F#m] my own
[E] Oh this empty feeling won't leave me [F#m]
alone
[C#m] [F#m] [C#m] It goes on and [Bm]
on, [D] on and on, on [E] and on
[D] But the light of Albuquerque, [A] will soon be shining bright
[G] Like a diamond in [D] the desert, [A] like a beacon in the night
And [D] I wonder if she'll take me back, [A] will she and [F#m] her man
[A] Will the light of [D] Albuquerque, [E] shine for me [F#m] again
