Rod Clements - Candelight
[Intro] 
   Em     C(13x)   Em  
[Verse 1]
Don't ask me what I'm Cdoing here, BmI don't CknowEm  
Don't ask me if I'm Cgetting near, Bmso far to AmgoEm  
Got a station on the Cmedium wave, Bmjust about to CfadeEm  
I got a pistol in my Csleeping bag, so BmI won't feel aAmfraidG  
I saw a sign in the Cempty night, Ga place I've CknownEm  
I'm hoping there'll be Ccandlelight Amwhen I get Dhome
[Instrumental]
   Em     C(9x)   Em  
[Verse 2]
I guess I've done some Cwicked things Bmsince I've been 'CroundEm  
I caught an angel and I Cclipped her wings, Bmleft her on the AmgroundG  
Never thought of going Cback again, but I'm Gfeeling so aCloneEm  
Now I'm hoping there'll be Ccandlelight Amwhen I get Dhome
[Instrumental]
   Em     C(9x)   Em  
[Verse 3]
Every time I check my Crear view mirror, Bmwhat do I CseeEm  
I see the face of the oCriginal sinner Bmlooking back at AmmeG  
He's riding with me Cevery night in the Gdark and the unCknownEm  
And I'm hoping there'll be Ccandlelight Amwhen I get Dhome
[Outro]
   Em     C(13x)   Em
