Eliza Gilkyson - Midnight on Raton
CAPO: 6th Fret
INTRO:   C    G    C    G  C  
Sitting in a Fmotel
On the Goutskirts of RaCton
AmHow the years have Fflown since Townes 
GPassed through these hills aAmlone
FI got someone who Cloves me
But Git's too Emlate to Fphone
I wanna Gride this road forCever
And I'm Amdying Emto go Chome
INTERLUDE:   C    F    G      C    F    G     C  
Out there on the Finterstate
The Ghurrying of the Ccars
AmHigh above room F28
The Gswirling of the Amstars
And I Fdraw the vinyl Ccurtains
Like a Gveil aEmcross my Fskin
I Gturn the bedside Clamp down
And I Amlet my EmshadoFws in
BRIDGE:
'Cause I feel so Cfull andG  
So empty Chanded
In a Fworld so Ccruel
I don't Emthink I underFstand it
Are we still the Cfools who
GDon't know Emright from Fwrong
Here at GmidCnight Emon GRaFton?
INTERLUDE:   C    F    G      C    F    G     C  
I find a crumpled Fnapkin
And I Gfumble for a Cpen
AmChase a fleeting Fmoment
Like it Gwas my long lost Amfriend
And I Fcurl up 'neath the Cblankets
And I Gdream unEmtil the Fdawn
But, come Gmorning I'll be Cthrough these Emhills and Fgone
Come Gmorning I'll be Cthrough these Emhills and Fgone
OUTRO:   (## repeat 7x and fade to end ##)
       C  F  G  C
