NOTE: The Cadd9 and Dsus4 in the CHORUS may just be base notes (i.e., G/C and G/D).
Using the whole chord makes it sound fuller.

INTRO: G

Another new day just came and went
GC
What can I say about the way it got spent
AmC
Workin' like a dog layin' asphault down
AmG
On a two lane blacktop leavin' this town

The red hot sun don't bother me none
GC
What gets me is when the day is done
AmC
Cold dark house and an unmade bed
AmG
Where the dreams of Martina roll around in my head
CHORUS:

SOLO: G C Am C Am G

The wind and rain don't cause me no pain

Guess I've grown accustomed to the same old thing

But the dreams of Martina won't let me sleep
