[Intro]
E D A E
[Verse]
B A G#m A E I met you on a midway at a fair last year B A G#m A E And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear D A E D You were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings A E You were playing like a devil wearing wings
[Chorus]
D Wearing wings A E You looked so grand wearing wings D E Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing? D Can you fly? A E I heard you can! Can you fly? D E Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky
[Bridge]
D A E
[Verse]
B A G#m A E I followed with the sideshows to another town B A G#m A E And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds D A E D You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice A E And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice
[Chorus]
D Once or twice A E I heard your bid once or twice D E Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price D Pack it in A E I heard you did! Pack it in D E Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win
[Bridge]
D A E
[Verse]
B A G#m A E So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news B A G#m A E And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues D A E D And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine A E And I feel like I've been working overtime
[Chorus]
D Overtime A E I've lost my fire overtime D E Always playin' one more hand for one more dime D Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired! A E Slowin' down D E And I envy you the valley that you've found D 'Cause I'm midway down the midway E D A E D A E Slowin' down, down, down, down
