Ray Wylie Hubbard - Loco Gringos Lament Chords

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
N.C.                          G
 Wild young cowboy out on the highway
G
 Telecaster kid of the rockin trade
                           D
Lost unto the straight and narrow
                         G
To honky tonks and masquerade
 
[Verse]
G
 Tempted by a thousand pleasures
G
 Its foolish comfort for the soul
                       D
A deadly shot missed a shadow
                           G
There ain't no sign posts along this road.
 
[Chorus]
                       C
It is such a sweet temptation
                        G
It gives such a brief relief
                      D
It is such a false sensation
                             G
How come that's so hard to believe
 
[Verse]
N.C.                      G
Hiram Williams was in the back seat
G
 Of a Cadillac on New Year's Day
                                D
He closed his eyes and sang his last song
                                  G
Mister Leon Payne's "The Lost Highway"
 
[Verse]
G
 That same old song with the sad sweet ending
G
 Is playing somewhere south of town
G                        D
 By a band of hard young rockers
                                       G
Who never think they'll see the sun go down
 
[Chorus]
                       C
It is such a sweet temptation
                        G
It gives such a brief relief
                      D
It is such a false sensation
                             G
How come that's so hard to believe
 
[Instrumental]
G G D G
G G D G
 
[Verse]
N.C.                   G
A young angel sings in sorrow
G
 For the broken hearted and betrayed
                                D
A last waltz for the wild young cowboys
                                  G
Who never came back from the lost highway
 
[Verse]
G
 An old Diablo waits in silence
G
 For the loco gringo young in years
                          D
He waits alone in heavens shadows
                                G
With a stolen horse and tequila tears
 
[Chorus]
                       C
It is such a sweet temptation
                        G
It gives such a brief relief
                      D
It is such a false sensation
                             G
How come that's so hard to believe
                       C
It is such a sweet temptation
                        G
It gives such a brief relief
                      D
It is such a false sensation
                       G
How come that's so hard to believe
                      D
It is such a false sensation
                             C     G
How come that's so hard to believe
