That Song About The Midway(Chords)

	        
Intro E D A E 

Verse 

  B            A    G#m    A         E 
I met you on a midway at a fair last year 
        B                A G#m A                  E 
And you stood out like a ruby    in a black man's ear 
         D              A       E                              D 
You were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings 
         A                           E 
You were playing like a devil wearing wings 

        D 
Wearing wings 
                            A   E 
You looked so grand wearing wings 
       D                                  E 
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing? 
        D 
Can you fly? 
                         A   E 
I heard you can! Can you fly? 
        D                                 E 
Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky

Verse 

  B                  A    G#m A          E 
I followed with the sideshows  to another town 
      B                A  G#m         A      E 
And I found you in a trailer   on the camping grounds 
         D              A                E              D 
You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice 
      A                                 E 
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice 

        D 
Once or twice 
                         A    E 
I heard your bid once or twice 
         D                                 E 
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price 
        D 
Pack it in 
                         A   E 
I heard you did! Pack it in 
       D                                 E 
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win

Verse 

   B                  A  G#m  A                       E 
So lately you've been hiding,  it was somewhere in the news 
    B                  A G#m      A                     E 
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues 
      D                  A                E                  D 
And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine 
      A                              E 
And I feel like I've been working overtime 

    D 
Overtime 
                      A  E 
I've lost my fire overtime 
       D                                 E 
Always playin' one more hand for one more dime 
        D             
Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired! 
        A  E 
Slowin' down 
      D                              E 
And I envy you the valley that you've found 
           D 
'Cause I'm midway down the midway 
        E     D     A    E   D A E 
Slowin' down, down, down, down
