The Willows - Goodnight Loving Trail
INTRO:   C    G    C    G  C  
You're too old to wrangle or ride on the Gswing
You beat the triangle and you Ccurse everything
If dirt were a kingdom, then Fyou'd be the king
On the CGoodnight GTrail, on the CLoving FTrail
CHORUS:
Your Cold woman's lonesome toGnight
Your CFrench harp Gblows like a Clow-bawling Fcalf
It's a Cwonder the wind don't Gtear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the Clight
With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments Gtoo
You can do anything that a Cdoctor can do
Except find a cure for your Fown goddamn stew 
On the CGoodnight GTrail, on the CLoving FTrail
CHORUS:
Your Cold woman's lonesome toGnight
Your CFrench harp Gblows like a Clow-bawling Fcalf
It's a Cwonder the wind don't Gtear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the Clight
INSTRUMENTAL:    C     G     C    F   C   G  C  
Well, the campfire's gone out and the coffee's all Ggone
The boys are all up and they're Craising the dawn
And you're sitting there, Flost in a song
On the CGoodnight GTrail, on the CLoving FTrail
CHORUS:
Your Cold woman's lonesome toGnight
Your CFrench harp Gblows like a Clow-bawling Fcalf
It's a Cwonder the wind don't Gtear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the Clight

BRIDGE:
It's a Amwonder the Cwind
It's a Amwonder the Cwind 
It's a Amwonder the Cwind F  C  
Oh, it's someday, I'll be just the Gsame
Wearing an apron inCstead of a name
There's no one can change it, there's Fno one to blame
For the Cdessert's a book writ in lizards and Gsage
Easy to look like an Cold torn out page
Faded and cracked with the Fcolours of age
On the CGoodnight GTrail, on the CLoving FTrail
CHORUS:
Your Cold woman's lonesome toGnight
Your CFrench harp Gblows like a Clow-bawling Fcalf
It's a Cwonder the wind don't Gtear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the Clight 
It's a wonder the wind don't Gtear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the Clight

Get in there and blow out the light
