[Intro]
D C G D
[Verse 1]
A G D I met you on a midway at a fair last year A G D And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear C G You were playing on the horses D C You were playing on the guitar strings G D You were playing like a devil wearing wings
[Chorus]
C Wearing wings, you looked so grand G D Wearing wings___ C G D Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing? C Can you fly?
I heard you can
G D Can you fly___? C G D C G D Like an eagle, doing your hunting from the sky
[Verse 2]
A G D I followed with the sideshows to another town A G D And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds C G You were betting on some lover D C You were shaking up the dice G D And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice
[Chorus]
C Once or twice G D I heard your bid once or twice___ C G D Were you wondering, was the gamble worth the price C Pack it in
I heard you did
G D Pack it in___ C G D C G D Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win?
[Verse 3]
A G D So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news A G D And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues C G And a voice calls out the numbers D C And it sometimes mentions mine G D And I feel like I've been working overtime
[Chorus]
C Overtime G D I've lost my fire overtime___ C G D Always playing one more hand for one more dime C Slowing down
I'm getting tired
G D Slowing down___ C G D And I envy you the valley that you've found C 'Cause I'm midway down the midway D C G D Slowing down, down, down____
