[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][C][G][D][Dsus4][D][A]
[G]I met

[Verse 1]
[A]you
on [Bm]a midaway at a fa[G]ir las[Bm]t ye[D]ar
[A]And you[G] stood out[A] like a ruby[Bm]
[G]in a black man's ear[D]
You [G]were play[C]ing [D]on [C]the
[Bm]horses[G]
[D]You were playing on the
guitar [C]strings[Em][F]
[C]You were play

[Verse 2]
[Bm]ing like the dev
[C]il [G]wearing win[D]gs
Wearing [C]wings, you [D]looked so [C]grand,
[F]wea[C]ring wing s[Bm][G][D]
[A]Do [D]you tie th[C]em to your
[Bm]shoulder[G]s just to s[D]ing
Can you [C]fly? I hear you [F]can[C]! Can
you [Bm]fly?[G]
[D][Dsus4]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Just like an [C]eagle [G]doin' his[C] hun[Bm]t
[A]ing from [G]the sky[D][G][C][G][D][A][G]
[A]I followed through a sid[Bm]eshow
[G]to another tow[F#m]n[D][A]
And I found you in a [Bm]trailer [C]on
[Bm]the camping [D]grounds
[G]You wer[D]e bettin[C]g on [D]som[C]e lover,[Bm]
[G]sho[D]otin' out[C] the dic[D]e[C][F][C]

[Verse 4]
And I [Bm]thought I saw you
[G]cheating once [D]or twice
Once [C]or twice, I heard ya [F]did,
[C]once or twi[Bm]ce[G][D][A][D]
Were you [C]wondering was the [Bm]gamble
[G]worth [D]the price[Em][D]
Now you've [G]packed it [C]in, I heard you did,
[F]pac[C]ked it in[Bm][G]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
[G]Was it [C]hard to fold [Bm]a hand [A]you knew you[D]
could [Bm]win?[G][C][G][D][G][Em]
[A]Lately you've been hid[Bm]ing,
it [G]was somewhere in [D]the news
[A]And[Bm] I'm [A]still at these races[Bm]
with [C]my ticket [G]stubs and [D]my [C]blues
[G]The[C] man calls out the[Bm][G]
[D]numbers...he sometimes men[C]tions min[D]e[C][F]
But [C]I feel

[Verse 6]
[Bm]like I've been work
[G]ing [D]overtime[C][Dsus4][D]
Over[C]time, [D]I've lost [Em]my f[F]ire,
[C]ove[Bm]rtime[G][D][A]
[D]An [C]d[G][D][C][F][C][Bm]
[G]I[D][G][D][C]
envy you [Bm]the val[G]ley that [D]you've found
[A]'Cause I'm[D] mid[C]way[D]
[Em]down[C] the mid[Bm]way
