More Rosa more fun!
The Cair was cFold that mGorning
and the cCoffee tFasted blGack
He said pClay us a sFong, you're a fGirst here, 
and I dCon't think that's tFoo much to Gask.
But lConely and sFcared we declGined here. 
Said mCaybe on mFy way bGack.
But I've got mCountains to crFoss before moGonshine, 
and Calready a wFeight on my bGack.
We tiptoed Cstumbling Facross at a hAmeartbreaking spGeed, 
passed the Cparking lot Fon to the Ghighway.
And to Cmumble one's Fthoughts is a Aheartbreaking dGeed.
Maybe jAmust one of you could go my Gway.
He closed his eCyes on the sFide of a cGhurch, right side of Tennessee
But Cnever slept that wFell next to sGtrangers, anyway.
Waved gCoodbye to the fFootpath, colder Gnow than he had grown to believeC  
One more ciFgarette to cGhase these night fears awCay.F  G  C  F  G  
Yes, you Ccan take me hFome, but I wiGll not buy you dinner.
Well, I Cbetter head back Fnow, lack of sGleep has caused my blood to grow thCinner
And these mFountain roads can Gbe quite treacherous
Step back Csir - I may be Fsmall, but I can puGt up quite a fuss right nCow.F  G  
I hate this part of CtFowGn. Where every shop's closed CdFowGn. I hate this part of CtFowGn.
Right CnoFw, GI hate this part of CtFowGn. Where every shop's closed CdFowGn. I hate this part of CtFowGn.

C F G

The air was cold that morning

C F G

and the coffee tasted black

C F G

He said play us a song, you're a first here,

C F G

and I don't think that's too much to ask.

C F G

But lonely and scared we declined here.

C F G

Said maybe on my way back.

C F G

But I've got mountains to cross before moonshine,

C F G

and already a weight on my back.

C F Am G

We tiptoed stumbling across at a heartbreaking speed,

C F G

passed the parking lot on to the highway.

C F A G

And to mumble one's thoughts is a heartbreaking deed.

Am G

Maybe just one of you could go my way.

C F G

He closed his eyes on the side of a church, right side of Tennessee

C F G

But never slept that well next to strangers, anyway.

C F G C

Waved goodbye to the footpath, colder now than he had grown to believe

F G C F G C F G

One more cigarette to chase these night fears away.

C F G

Yes, you can take me home, but I will not buy you dinner.

C F G C

Well, I better head back now, lack of sleep has caused my blood to grow thinner

F G

And these mountain roads can be quite treacherous

C F G C F G

Step back sir - I may be small, but I can put up quite a fuss right now.

C F G C F G C F G

I hate this part of town. Where every shop's closed down. I hate this part of town.

C F G C F G C F G C F G

Right now, I hate this part of town. Where every shop's closed down. I hate this part of town.
