[Verse]
CIn a western Etown, Fbeneath the northern Clights,
Cwhere the pine trees Epine Ffor the fall of Cnight,
Cyou believe in Ecards, Fyou believe in Csigns
Cand I'll be leavin' Esoon, Fbut I'm here Ctonight.
COn a mountainEside, Fwell below the Cstars,
Ckeep your lovers Eeyes Fin mason Cjars
Cand I should be Escared Fbut I feel no Cfear,
                      C       E             F        CCE  F  C  
'cause I'll be leavin' soon, tonight I'm here.
[Chorus]
FAnd even if you are the Cone, and Feven if the cards are all Ctrue,
Dmwhen the curtain calls, oh baby, Fwhat's a boy to Cdo?
DmWhen the curtain calls, oh baby, Fwhat's a boy to Cdo?
[Verses] (same as first)
Well the Southern P. moved her family down.
Then along came me to her sleepy town.
I don't believe in cards, I don't believe in signs,
but I'll be leavin' soon. I'm here tonight.
[Chorus] x2
In a western town, beneath the northern lights,
where the pine trees pine for the fall of night,
don't believe in me, did I make that clear?
'cause I'll be long gone soon, tonight I'm here.
