[Intro 1]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[C][C][Am][Am][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]And as I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
The desert sky, she flies by for [C]miles
[Am]And as I keep walkin'
People keep a-talkin'
About things they've never seen [C]or done
[Am]Homeless sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
I myself just move on through [C]town
[Am]Moon keeps on shinin'
And the rich keep on dinin'
And, oh, how I love the highway [C]sun
[Dm]Out to the back
The [F]poet writes his songs in [C]blood

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Am][Am][C][C]

[Verse 2]
Where the [Am]coyotes are callin'
The stars keep on fallin'
Your mother, she won't be a[C]round
A [Am]feather blows down the road
And the wind is cold, your wings are broke
And your heart is livin' on the [C]run
[Am]Lonely and wasted
Her eyes replaced it
And I don't think I'll make another [C]mile
[Am]Town to town I run
My horse ain't too drunk
The wind is singin' to the [C]sun
[Dm]Out to the back
The [F]poet writes his songs in [C]blood

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Am][Am][C][C]

[Verse 3]
But the [Am]jukebox is barkin'
I'm just gettin' started
I've yet to see the light of [C]day
[Am]Senoritas lose it
To the Mariachi music
'Cause New York is too far a[C]way
And the [Am]band keeps on playin'
With beer bottles breakin'
And the barmaid, I heard she pulled her [C]gun
[Am]Poet takes a pistol
Points it at this sister
Says, "Honey, your day is [C]done"
[Dm]Out to the back
The [F]poet writes his songs in [C]blood
[Dm]Out to the back
The [F]poet writes his songs in [C]blood
