[Verse 1]
E                                   Am       E                     Am
Yellow lines in the dead of the night, I was heading back out west.

E                                   Am     E                      Am                                  
Trying to keep my eyes open wide, I'd gone days without any rest.

E                                  Am       E               Am
Saw him lying in the road looking bad about 20 yards ahead.

E                                   Am        E                              Am
You come back from a trip to the east but you don't come back from the dead.
[Solo] E E Em E Am E E Em E Am E E Em E Am E E Em E Am [Verse 2]
E                                  Am            E                           Am
Sure as hell he was dead as they come and he was already starting to smell.

E                                   Am        E                         Am
Just a kid with his hair slicked back and a knife tucked into his belt.

E                                   Am        E                             Am
Was he unforgiven or just tired of living a life that never felt like his?

E                                              Am 
Though I was was worn and weary, I thought I'd bury him

E                                   Am        E 
and lay his soul to rest out in the desert night.
[Solo] E G# A E E G# A E E G# A E E G# A E [Chorus]
E           G#         A           E
I laid him down in a grave in the sand 

E                 G#           A          E
and he grabbed my arm with his dead man's hand.

E                    G#           A          E
He said: "I know I'm dead but I don't wanna lie

E               G#             A        E
in a grave out here where the coyote's cry.

E               G#       A        E
I stared right into the endless void

E                  G#        A         E
and I ain't going back if I got any choice.

E              G#            A           E
I know how to live, I don't know how to die

E                   G#              A     E
and there ain't no thrills in the afterlife.

E           G#        A       E
So lift me up out of here my friend

E                   G#              A    E
and I'll wander the night 'til the ages end."

E           G#        A               E
Lit by the moon he walked through the sand

E                G#            A          E
and he waved goodbye with his dead man's hand.
[Solo] E G# A E E G# A E E G# A E E G# A E E E Em E Am E E Em E Am E E Em E Am E E Em E Am [Outro]
E                     Am                   E    Em  E  Am
He will roam forever, haunting the desert.

E                     Am                   E    Em  E  Am  E
He will roam forever, haunting the desert.
