The Poet

ryan bingham & the dead horses - the poet junky star standard tuning Bm as i get long gone out where the wind blows D the desert sky she flys by for miles Bm as i keep walkin people keep talkin D about things theyve never scene or done , Bm homeless sleep in the park sweet hearts kiss in the dark D i myself just move on through town Bm the moon keeps on shinin the rich keep on dinin D oh how i love the highway sun Em G D out to the back , the poet writes his songs in blood Bm coyotes are callin stars keep on fallin D your mother she wont be around Bm a feather blows down the road the wind is cold and your wings are broke D and your heart is livin on the run Bm lonely and wasted , her eyes replaced it D i dont think ill make another mile Bm from town to town i run my horse aint to drunk D the daylight is singin to the sun Em G D out to the back , the poet writes his songs in blood Bm juke box is barkin im just getting started D ive yet to see the light of day Bm senoritias lose it to the mariachi music D cause new york is too far away Bm the band keeps on playin with beer bottles breakin D the barmaid i heard pulled a gun Bm poet takes a pistol , points at this sister D says honey your day is done Em G D out to the back , the poet writes his songs in blood Em G D out to the back , the poet writes his songs in blood
