Note: Chords in approximate locations
Dadd9 can be substituted for A chord, sounds good either way
D (hammer off/on third string, listen to the song)
The tired winds blow and the restless go home
and the haggard lies down to sleep
Where the hours go slow and the beauty we know
is the love, that is the key
Lay awake and breath while the fire overtakes me
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home
When the curtains do close and the night becomes old
and the willing go on their way
No ones in sight so they shut down the lights
Since the bottles all have gone dry
D (lift index finger like intro)
Harp solo in D:
()
When it rains son it pours heaven opens its doors
to drop hell straight from the sky
The open road’s gone and the darkness is calm
Enough to take your dear life
Stay awake and breathe, and struggle to stay in the lines
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home
When the curtains do close and the night becomes old
and the stragglers all find their way
No ones in sight so they shut down the lights
Since the bottles all have gone dry
Stay awake and breathe, while the fire overtakes me
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel she brought me home
The tired winds blow and the restless go home
and the haggard lies down to sleep
Where the hours go slow and the beauty we know
is the love, that is the key
