WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT?
written by M. Timmins and The Cowboy Junkies,
from the album Caution Horses
submitted and transcribed in June 1998

C Am F C
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
C F G
Quarters piled high upon the table.
C Am F C
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
C Am G
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
C Am F C
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
Am F G
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
C Am F C
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
C Am G
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.
Am F
And where are you tonight?
Am F
When I left you in my dreams last night,
C GF
You promised me that we would be breaking free.
F G Am
Where are you tonight?
C Am F C
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
C Am G
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
C Am F C
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
C Am G
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
C Am
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
F C
with his arm around my shoulder,
C AmG
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
C Am F C
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
C Am G
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
Am F
And where are you tonight?
Am F
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
C G Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
Em F
And where are you tonight?
Em F
I think I can make it through all right,
F Em Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
