• Capo on 3rd
• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: Bb

🎸 Intro:

G



🎸 Verse :
G
Only time I see my friends
     C
Is on the posters in the bar room wall
   G
Only time I hear their voice
     C
Is in a drunken late-night hotel call
G

See you're out in Houston
   C
I'm giggin' in L.A.
    G
Maybe we'll cross paths
D       G
One of these days




🎸 Verse :
   G
This business breaks your heart
    C
It's a big old mean machine
    G
It'll grind your bones to make your bread
     C
And then piss all over your dreams
G
That ain't why we do this
    C
If it was we wouldn't last long
   G            D     G
No, we're all hooked on the power of a song


🎸 Chorus:
     C
May our beds be soft
G
Coffee strong and hot
     C
May the angels of the blacktop
     G         D
Keep our souls from getting lost
       G
If there's a patron saint of troubadours
    C
On the road from here to there
    G
Watch over us
      D         G
That's my three-chord poet's prayer


🎸 Instrumental:
Bm G C G D




🎸 Verse :
      G
It's gonna be some real hard nights
     C
And some holes in the wall
      G
The next night you'll be on top of the world
      C
The next morning you might fall
 G
Things we miss back home
   C
Are never lost on me
   G           D     G
Kids growing up, funerals, anniversaries


🎸 Bridge:
  Em
I didn't choose this life
   C
This travelin' life chose me
    G
I was born to be a gypsy
      D
So that's what I'll always be
     G
Have a good next show
 C
Keep it between the lines
       G      D       G
Know you're always in my heart and on my mind


🎸 Chorus:
     C
May our beds be soft
G
Coffee strong and hot
     C
May the angels of the blacktop
     G         D
Keep our souls from getting lost
       G
If there's a patron saint of troubadours
    C
On the road from here to there
    G
Watch over us
      D         G
That's my three-chord poet's prayer

Watch over my friends
      D         G
That's my three-chord poet's prayer
