[Gm]

[Verse 1]
[D]Yellow lines in the dead of the[G] night
[Gm]I was he[D]ading back out wes[Gm]t
[D]Trying to keep my eyes open wide
[Gm]I'd gone[G] days [D]without any rest[Gm]
[D]Saw him lying in the road looking [Gm]bad
[D]about 20 yards [Gm]ahead
[D]You come back from a trip to [Gm]the east
But you [D]don't come back from the dead
[Gm]

[Interlude 1]

[Gm]

[Verse 2]
[D]Sure as hell he was dead as they come
[G]And he was alr[D]eady starting to [Gm]smell
[D]Just a kid with his hair slicked bac[G]k
And [D]a knife tucked into his belt
Was he unfor[G]given [D]or just
tired of [G]living a life
[D]That never felt like his?
[Gm]Though I was was w[D]orn and wear[Gm]y,
[D]I thought I'd bur[G]y him
[D]And lay his soul to rest out in the desert

[Interlude 2]
night
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]I laid him down in [G]a grave in the sand
[D]And he grabbed my arm[A] with
[F#m]his dead ma[G]n's hand
[D]He said: "I know I'm dea[F#m]d
but [G]I don't wanna lie
[D]In a grave out here where
[F#m]the coyote's [G]cry[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I stared right into the end[G]less void
[D]And I ain't going back if
[G]I got any [D]choice
I know how to live, I don't [G]know how to die
[D]And there ain't no thrills
in the after[G]life[D]

[Verse 5]
So [D]lift me up out of here [G]my friend
[D]And I'll wander the night
'til the [G]ages end."
[D]Lit by the moon he
[G]walked through the sand
[D]And he waved goodbye with his dead man[G]'s han[D]d

[Interlude 3]
[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Gm]
[D]He will

[Verse 6]
roam forever,
[Gm]haun[D]ting[Gm] the[D] desert[Gm]
