COWBOY JUNKIES' LAMENT
(written by Townes ? [can't remember last name])

(from Black-Eyed Man, by the Cowboy Junkies)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Intro: E* (x2)

Verse:

E A
Baby's in the back lot breathin' real heavy

B A E
Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone

E A
Mama did her makeup in a terrible hurry

B A E
She finally got ready but the boys were gone

A B
Mama don't you worry, night's approachin'

A B E
There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through

E A
Just close your eyes, and dream real steady

B A E
Maybe just a little will spill on you

E

Chorus:

E A B
Dark don't lie

E*
Dreams come true

A E
All it takes is one or two

Verse: "Old lady rose, lookin' down her nose..."

Chorus: "Won't be long, I won't be gone..."

Verse: "Those in the know, say so it goes..."

Chorus: "Snake eyes cry, boxcars sigh..."

Chorus: "Dark don't lie, dreams come true..."

(then repeat the A E sequence for: "Maybe just a few will see you through")

(and repeat it twice more without words for the Outtro)
