Steve Earle – Transcendental Blues (Guitar)

D      A       G    G      A       D
In the darkest hour of the longest night

D  Dsus2  Dmaj9  E7sus4   E7sus4  Dmaj9  Dsus2 D
If it was in my power, I'd step into the light

D       A      G       G     A      D
Candles on the altar, penny in your shoe

D  Dsus2 Dmaj9 E7sus4  E7sus4   Dmaj9  Dsus2 D
Walk upon the water, transcendental blues

D      A    G    G         A       D
Happy ever after until the day you die

D       Dsus2 Dmaj9  E7sus4   E7sus4   Dmaj9     Dsus2 D
Careful what you ask for, you don't know till you try

D         A       G        G       A       D
Hands are in your pockets, staring at your shoes

D       Dsus2 Dmaj9   E7sus4  E7sus4  Dmaj9  Dsus2 D
Wishing you could stop it, transcendental blues

D    A         G    G          A     D
If I had it my way, everything would change

D   Dsus2 Dmaj9   E7sus4      E7sus4  Dmaj9   Dsus2  D
Out here on this highway, the rules are still the same

D          A     G      G         A           D
Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to

D    Dsus2 Dmaj9    E7sus4    E7sus4       Dmaj9     Dsus2  D
They leave you standing there with them old transcendental blues
