As recorded by Lyle Lovett (From the 2009 Album NATURAL FORCES) [Intro] G F Dm G F [Verse 1]
    G                                          F        Am
The sun, the moon and the stars, they make the wind blow

Em                                   C
It took me twenty years to understand

    G                              F          Am
But lost to me is how the lives of friends go

     Em                            C
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind
[Chorus]
       G       C     D/F# G        C   D/F#
But it made me strong to  be on my own

         G         C   D/F# G         C
It never did me no harm to  live all alone

        D                   D#
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening

D                           C                         G          A#  C  D# F
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few
[Verse 2]
     G                              F       Am
This afternoon was cloudy and the rains came

Em                              C
Third day of my first day San Miguel

           G                           F         Am
Seems that lately that I'm doubling as storm bait

          Em                                   C
I've been followed like a shadow since the dell
[Chorus]
       G       C     D/F# G        C   D/F#
But it made me strong to  be on my own

         G         C   D/F# G         C
It never did me no harm to  live all alone

        D                   D#
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening

D                           C                         G
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few
[Instrumental Break] A# C D# F G F Am Em C G F Am Em C [Verse 3]
     G                                   F          Am
Dear friendships and relations, see what I have done

     Em                             C
I've gathered all my fingers in one place

         G
And they breathe a breath that's deadly stale

F                   Am
Since they tooled a song for me

          Em                            C
I guess mechanics never really set the pace
[Chorus]
        G            C      D/F#
But I'm back and I'm strong

      G         C   D/F# G        C  D/F#
Never did me no harm  to be on my own

   G         C
To live all alone

    D                   D#
But now and then in the color of the evening

D                             C                         G
Drunken in a barroom with the fan turning, I've come to miss a few
[Outro] A# C D# F G
