Emmylou Harris – One Paper Kid (Guitar)

A            A/G#       F#m
Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb

E                           A
Tomorrow came too fast, but he didn't mind

A                A/G#      F#m
The distance was short, so light it again

Dsus2                    E           A
It don't take no time to get where I am

    Dsus2                A
But one paper kid wasn't really so mean

       E                       A
Just a little bit scared and a little bit green

         Dsus2      E                F#m      Dsus2
And he'd heard of a place where it's legal to dream

      A                        F#m
So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind

       Dsus2                 F#m                 E       A
And he wrote on a rock, "The one paper kid. he's rolling again"

    A          A/G#        F#m
The driver was drunk or he just didn't see

    E                      A
The future is there, it'll happen to me

    A       A/G#                    F#
And all the time that he wasted was his once again

   Dsus2                   E               A
It never takes too long to go where you've been

F#m                         E
Broken hearts scattered all over the past

Dsus2            A
Old bad memories trying to last

F#m         E         Dsus2
Whiskey and women and growing up fast

D                      E
Fussing and loving and itching like grass

    A         A/G#       F#m
But one paper kid wasn't really so mean

       E                           A
Just a little bit weird 'cause the times were so lean

         Dsus2     E                F#m      Dsus2
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream

   A          A/G#       F#m
No Camels, no coffee, no cold morning winds

   Dsus2                  F#m                 E       A
He read on the rock, "The one paper kid, he's rolling again"

    F#m                 E       A
The one paper kid, he's rolling again
