Tom: C
G F C G F C
I cannot wait for dawn to break, I must be on my way
G F C Bb C G
Before I pass this way again, Be many a dark dark day
G F C G F C
The sheriff does not know my face, he does not know my name
G F C Bb C G
But before the sun goes down again, he’ll know them just the same
[Chorus]
F G Bb C G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb C Bb C G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again
[Break]
G F C G F C
G F C Bb C G
[Verse 2]
G F C G F C
Between a poor man's word and a rich man's gold, who’s chances would you choose
G F C Bb C G
The judge and jury close their eyes, and justice don’t come true
G F C G F C
I’ll run from what I haven’t done, cause the long arm of the law
G F C Bb C G
Has got a silver spade that’ll dig my grave, in Fort Smith Arkansas
[Chorus]
C F Bb G Bb C G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb C Bb C G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again
[Solo]
G F C G F C
G F C Bb C G
[Verse 3]
G F C G F C
Down along the railroad tracks, waitin in the weeds
G F C Bb C G
The first freight train to the leave the yard, will be the one for me
G F C G F C
I’ll find a place on the box car roof, where the wind cuts cold and deep
G F C Bb C G
I don’t need no railroad man, to catch me in my sleep
[Chorus]
C F Bb G Bb C G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb C Bb C G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again
Bb C G Bb C G
To be with you again
