Intro: D 

D                    A 
Out in the Red Rock Desert 
                           D 
Sitting on the roof of my car 
                  A 
Drinking cans of warm beer 
                      D 
Watching the sky get dark 

 G                   D 
Gail and I shot our empties 
        A           D 
with an old rusted rifle 
     G                D 
Her golden hair went flying 
       Bm          F# 
Like a wild brush fire 
           G               A      D 
When the mountains turned red at dusk 

      D                     A 
Time passed in the burning desert 
                          D 
and the tumbleweeds they tumbled 
                    A 
We lay in a golden fire 
                           D 
As the screaming buzzards circled 

Bm                     F# 
Far down the darkened valley 
     G                  D 
The city lights still twinkled 
       Bm             F# 
But my eyes saw only Gail 
         G              D 
And her hair of golden fire 
           G               A      D 
When the mountains turned red at dusk 

         D                      A 
But the fire it burned right through her 
                      D 
Gail followed unseen voices 
                     A 
They led her to the city 
                      D 
Deep in the darkened valley 

         G                   D 
I drove circles through the alleys 
A                   D 
Calling my burning lover 
     G               D 
But Gail ran deeper into the gloom 
   A                 D 
Screaming at the streetlights 

       Bm               F# 
And I lost her there forever 
  G                   D 
Deep in the valley's darkness 
                         A 
My Gail with the golden hair 
      G               D 
That burns bright as fire 
           G               A      D 
When the mountains turned red at dusk 
    D      G    A      Bm
