VERSE:
D Thunder bay must have been a big mess G Night bus to Regina, I'm not at my best D Trying to play straight, A But I come undone D No, I can't connect, I'm missing the marks G Second night of the tour and I'm having second thoughts D A D On this road headed west E ------- B ------- G ------- D ------- A -0-2-3- E -------
VERSE:
D Winnipeg on a Friday night G Well, it's cold to the bone so I'm gonna get high D A Starting to remember the words and the reason why D Saskatoon is colder yet G But I'm finally getting into the set D A D I know this is what I do, but sometimes I forget E ------- B ------- G ------- D ------- A -0-2-3- E -------
CHORUS:
G A D And the opening act was a nice surprise G D Couldn't get her name straight, G A Maybe I'm too high G D Many a mile to nowhere, G Doing the same old thing D A G G So I'll sing my song and see N.C.
