I must first warn that this is just the way I play this song on my acoustic guitar. It
not be exactly how it is played
by the artist. Keep in mind that I am trying to make the song sound complete and full
just one instrument.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

*Chords*
Verse:
CEm
You're the one thing that I'm leaving that will come to my mind dreaming
CEm
All along the highway speeding and up in the air as far as I fly
CEm
You're the first thing that I'm thinking when I'm taking off and landing
CEm
In the cities that I'm playing to the people I won't ever know
Chorus:
AmCEm
This is the last time out for me I don't want to find out we
AmCEm
Drifted apart or lost our way, I'll be home by Satur-day
Verse:
CEm
Last night in New York City I met a girl almost as pretty
CEm
And if I had one more whiskey, everything would have all just slipped away
Chorus:
AmCEm
This is the last time out for me, I don't want to wait and see
AmCEm
If while away you've been un-true, have you found somebody new
AmCEm
And if I'm wrong then don't you stray, I'll be home by Satur-day
Verse:
CEm
You're the one thing that I'm leaving that will come to my mind dreaming
CEm
All along the highway speeding and up in the air as far as I fly
I left out of the intro and breaks that are heard in the song, but you can figure it
It's all just "C, Em" except for the chorus, which is "Am, C, Em", and that's it! Enjoy.
This is my first tab. I hope it's okay.
