Where Are You Tonight? Michael Timmins There’s a [C] young man in the [Am] corner, playing [F] Crazy all night [C] long quarters piled [F] high upon the [G] table. He [C] orders Wild [Am] Turkey and with a [F] quick wit and a [C] smile he says, My darling, you’re the [F] one I’ll drape in [G] sable. But his [C] baseball cap and [Am] his barroom rap Tell [F] me a different [C] story that this is not my [F] prince to grant all [G] my wishes. Just [C] another lonely [Am] country boy grown [F] weary of the [C] night. Just another boy with a [F] sink full of [G] dirty dishes. [Em] And where are you [Am] tonight? When [Em] I left you in my [Am] dreams last night [C] you promised me [Cmaj7] we would be breaking [F] free. [Am7] Where are you [Am] tonight? He [C] tells me of the [Am] back roads and how [F] we’ll ride them all [C] night long how the days will fade and the [F] moon will hang [G] forever and how the [C] cloud of dust we’ll [Am] kick up will [F] linger like a [C] song and the myth will grow about the [F] two who refused to [G] surrender. But as I [C] catch us in the [Am] barroom mirror with his [F] arm around my [C] shoulder this girl I see has [F] grown so unfam- [G] iliar and as [C] she stands [Am] to leave with a [F] stranger by her [C] side she can’t help but laugh at [F] a life turned so [G] peculiar. [Em] And where are you [Am] tonight? [Em] I don’t think I can [Am] face tomorrow’s light [C] not knowing if [Em] you’ll be there to [F] guide me [Am7] Where are you [Am] tonight? [Dm] And where are you [G] tonight? I [C] think I can make it [Am] through all right. But I’d [C] love to have you [Cmaj7] just one more time [F] beside me. Tabbed by bbkim |
