Shadows In The Dark Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Momma tried to make
this house a home
Daddy drove a truck
Somebody always told him where to go
We only [F]saw him two times a week
Sometimes he needed days of sleep
But he was doing al[Am]right
They grew up poor,
lived the best they could
Tried real hard, it didn't do no good
So [F]I took off on my road
A different road than my daddy drove
I was doing al[Am]right

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Like [F]a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own [Am]track[F]
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me
[Am]back[G]
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I [F]lie in my own way

[Verse 3]
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
[Am]My brother signed up
Said "Yes Sir" to them stripes
War has colour all
brainwashed in their pride
And [F]he came back all tired and mean
Good days too few and far between
He said he's doing alright
[Am]

[Verse 4]
Like [F]a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own [Am]track[F]
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me [Am]back[G]
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
[F]I lie in my own way

[Interlude 1]
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[F]Stories written in my blood
I was born and bound in
[G]The fire raging in my soul

[Verse 6]
Burning both sides of the candle
[G]
Like a [F]full steaming train
Helping to lay my own [Am]track[F]
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me [Am]back
[G]Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
[F]I lie in my own way

[Interlude 2]
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
[Am]

[Verse 7]
Chasing [Am]shadows in the [G]dark[Am]

[Outro 1]
Chasing shadows in the dark
[Am]
