Eliza Gilkyson – Midnight On Raton (Guitar)

             F
Sitting in a motel

       G              C
On the outskirts of Raton

Am                 F
How the years have flown since Townes 

G                           Am
Passed through these hills alone

F                 C
I got someone who loves me

    G        Em      F
But it's too late to phone

        G                 C
I wanna ride this road forever

        Am   Em     C
And I'm dying to go home

                 F
Out there on the interstate

    G               C
The hurrying of the cars

Am              F
High above room 28

    G               Am
The swirling of the stars

      F              C
And I draw the vinyl curtains

       G     Em       F
Like a veil across my skin

  G                C
I turn the bedside lamp down

      Am     Em   F
And I let my shadows in

                 C         G
'Cause I feel so full and

         C
So empty handed

     F        C
In a world so cruel

        Em           F
I don't think I understand it

                 C
Are we still the fools who

G          Em         F
Don't know right from wrong

        G  C     Em G F
Here at midnight on Raton?

                  F
I find a crumpled napkin

      G            C
And I fumble for a pen

Am               F
Chase a fleeting moment

        G                Am
Like it was my long lost friend

      F                  C
And I curl up 'neath the blankets

      G       Em      F
And I dream until the dawn

          G               C             Em        F
But, come morning I'll be through these hills and gone

     G               C             Em        F
Come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
