[Verse 1]
A                          Em
The hungry dogs of New Mexico
A                             E
Chewing on roots and bones until dawn
Bm                         G
Well, the chill in their skin
F#m                               E
Goes down with the first rays of sun
A                       D        C#m
With the first rays of sun
B       C#m    D      E        F#m
And I met a man, he said he ran a junkyard

[Verse 2]
A                    Em
A man in a hotel in Reno
A                                       E
He gambled all night until his forearm was sore
Bm                         G
And then he went with a woman
F#m                               E
who took him And rolled him some more
A                       D        C#m
Until the first rays of light
B       C#m      D        E             F#m
And I met a man, and he said he ran a junkyard

[Verse 3]
A                    Em
A waitress in eastern Nevada
A                                        E
Was serving out coffee to men all night long
Bm                      G
Said she waits for the man
F#m                            E
who said that he'd take her along
A                       D        C#m
With the first rays of light
B       C#m      D        E             F#m
And I met a man, and he said he ran a junkyard

[Verse 4]
A                      Em
The hungry dogs of New Mexico
A                                      E
Are biting each others' backs to get home
Bm                      G
And in the dry desert heat
F#m                              E
They fight for the last piece of meat
A                        D        C#m
Until the first rays of light
B       C#m      D        E             F#m
And I met a man, and he said he ran a junkyard
