Em/F# - 222000 – can use thumb to get the F#


D                         Em
This old guitar’s playin’ harder
G                              D
And I’m still rollin’ with the thunder
Em              G                        A      Asus2  A
I’ve learned to dance with the lightning bolts
        Asus2                  Em                                                           
But the dreams so clear in the morning lights
G                D
Can blind you at midnight 
    Em          Em/F#           G 
‘Til angels and devils look the same
G               A               D
Leaves you with nothing but the rain


Chorus
D                   G
But if I had Hank’s angel
                           D
With them lips of sweet morphine
                             Em
Get me stoned down in Hank’s Cadillac
G                                D
Drive us both down to New Year’s Eve
                        G
But I’m wasted on these city streets
                       D
Rank strangers stand unkind
                         C
The only place I find an angel
G                D
Is a bottle at a time


I’ve got the moon still here to guide me
Finds me like my ex-best friend
Shines a thin pale light beside me
Down on regret, what might have been
But he won’t send me no more angels
Man I wasted all of mine
I left them walking down that lost highway
In The miles I left behind

Chorus
