Loco Gringo's Lament - Ray Wylie Hubbard
Capo 4th fret

[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
