Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[F][G][Gsus4]
[G]sun,
the moon and the stars
they make the [Gsus4]wind blow
It [Em]took me twenty years to under[C]stand
[G]Lost to me are how [Gsus4]the lives of friends go
[F]like aut[Em]umn leaves in Oklahoma win[C]d
But it [G]made me [C]strong to [G]be on my [C]own
It never [G]did me no [C]harm to [G]live all [C]alone
Oh, but [D]now and then
in the [Eb]colour of the evening
[G]Drunken in a barroom
with a [C]fan turning
I've come to [G]miss [Gsus4]a few[F][Eb][F]

[Verse 2]
This [G]afternoon was cloudy
and the [Gsus4]rains came
[Em]Third day of my first day [C]San Miguel
Seems [G]lately that I'm
doubling as [Gsus4]Storm bait
[G]I've been [Em]fol lowed like a
shadow through the [C]dell
But it [G]made me [C]strong to [G]be on my [C]own
It never [G]did me no [C]harm to
[G]live all [C]alone
Oh, but [D]now and then
in the [Adim]col our of [Eb]the evening
[G]Drunken in a barroom
with a [C]fan turning
I've come to [G]miss [Gsus4]a[F][Eb][F]
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
few
[G]Dear friends and relations
see what [Gsus4]I have done
I've [Em]gathered all my fingers in one [C]place
They [G]breathe a breath
that's deadly stale
since they [Gsus4]tooled a song for me
I guess mech[Em]anics never
really set the [C]pace
Cause I'm [G]back and I'm strong
[C]I'm her[G]e on my own[C]
It never [G]did me no [C]harm
to [G]live all [C]alone
Oh, but [D]now and then
in the [Eb]colour of the evening
[G]Drunken in a barroom
with a [C]fan turning
I've come to [G]miss a
[Gsus4]few[F][Eb][F][Gsus4]

[Verse 4]
The [G]sun, the moon and the stars
[Gsus4]they make the wind blow
It [Em]took me twenty years to under[C]stand
But [G]lost to me are how
[Gsus4]the lives of friends go
like [Em]autumn leaves in Oklahoma [C]wind
...oh, but [D]now and then
it's in the [Eb]col our of the e[Adim]vening
[G]Drunken in a barroom
with a [C]fan turning
I'll come to [G]miss a few
[Gsus4][Eb][Gsus4][G][G]
