From "Walk On" CD B. Jones bjones98@ airmail,net [Intro] A D A F#m E D D E A D D E A D [Verse 1]
A                           D           A
Could not get to sleep it was on my wedding night

  F#m              E               D            E
I was tangled in the sheets and I was dreaming of a light

D               E       A                       D
Pouring from her window  coming up through the floor

D                                               E
Lifting up the darkness  crashing through my kitchen door
[Verse 2]
A                          D            A
Down to that old oak table I went to take a look

        F#m                  E           D              E
And my whole life passed before me just like a story book

   D                  E         A                  D
She used to make me breakfast sit around and talk

D                                           E
Have another cup of coffee maybe take a little walk
[Chorus]
     F#m        E           A    D
Like dust down a country road

D                                       E
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load

F#m              E    A  D
up before the roster crowed

D                               E                   A
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road
[Verse 3]
A                           D           A
That truck is going somewhere I just can't be sure

F#m                E               D            E
And tomorrow's just a day after all that's gone before

D                     E         A                       D
I always thought of leaving  I never could stay too long

D                                                        E
Now her memory's catching up and her sweet dreams are all gone
[Chorus]
     F#m        E           A    D
Like dust down a country road

D                                       E
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load

F#m              E    A  D
up before the roster crowed

D                               E                   A
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road
[Verse 4]
A                  D            A
If I had a bullet I'd put in this gun

F#m                      E         D            E
And I'd catch that old dog naping and shoot him fore he'd run

D                             E         A              D
Cause he ain't much good for nothing cept starring at the dust

D                                               E
Lord I wonder what he's looking at sneaking up on us
[Chorus]
     F#m        E           A    D
Like dust down a country road

D                                       E
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load

F#m              E    A  D
up before the roster crowed

D                               E                   A
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road
