Darkness on the Edge of Town
Darkness on the Edge of Town (from the album of the same name)
----------------------------
INTRO: G C G C G
Well they're still racing out at the Trestles
GC
But that blood it never burned in her veins
GC
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
GC
And a style she's trying to maintain
GC
Well if she wants to see me
GCGEm
You can tell her that I'm easily found
GC
Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abram's Bridge
GCGEm
Tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
DDm7
There's a darkness on the edge of town
CGC
Everybody's got a secret Sonny
GC
Something that they just can't face
GC
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
GC
They carry it with them every step that they take
GC
Till some day they just cut it loose
GCGEm
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
GCEm
Where no one asks any questions
GC
Or looks too long in your face
GEm
In the darkness on the edge of town
DDCD
There's a darkness on the edge of town
CGC
(Rest of song continues exact same way)
Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
Tonight I'll be on that hill `cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
