One Headlight

>From the album Bringing Down the Horse

I don^Òt own this CD (yet) so I^Òm trying to work this out

from the radio. I^Òm not sure about the Em chords at the

ends of the verses and the end of the chorus and I don^Òt have

the exact words in front of me, but I think the rest is

pretty close.

So long ago, I don^Òt remember when

That^Òs when they say I lost my only friend

They said she died easy of a broken heart disease

As I listen through the cemetery trees

*Use the above chord pattern for each of the verses*

I see the sun comin^Ò up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

So I wonder how she hung around this place

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There^Òs got to be something better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

She said it^Òs cold

It feels like Independence Day

And I can^Òt break away from this parade

But there^Òs got to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I see the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin^Ò all there^Òs good and nothingness is dead

We^Òll run until she^Òs out of breath

She ran until there^Òs nothin^Ò left

She hit the end- it^Òs just her window ledge

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine, but the engine doesn^Òt turn

Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I^Òd like to watch it burn

I^Òm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Man, I ain^Òt changed, but I know I ain^Òt the same

But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin^Ò dreams

I think of death- it must be killin^Ò me

from the CD

Bringing Down The Horse

So long ago I don't remember when

That's when they say I lost my only friend

Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

As I listened through the cemetery trees

 

I see the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn

A long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face

I wondered why she hung around this place

G sustained

Hey!

Come on try a little, nothing is forever

There's got be something better than in the middle

Me and Cinderella, put it all together

We can drive it home... with one head light

D F# B (progression repeats from here)

She said it's cold, it feels like independence day

And I can't break away from this parade

But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I seen this sign up ahead at the county line bridge

Saying all is good and nothingness is dead

Run until she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothing left

She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

Repeat Chorus

Well this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn

Well it smells of cheaper wine, cigarettes, this place is always

such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

So old, I feel just like somebody else

Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same

But somewhere here in between these seedy walls of dying dreams

I think her death, it must be killing me

Repeat Chorus Hey, hey, hey...
