Yonder Mountain String Band
Red Tail Lights

Verse 1:

Intro
Flatt Run, FBb, FCF

           F              Bb
The sun is setting out my window
           F                 C
Only empty fields and a lone silo
                F                    Bb
In this kind of light things seem so strange
                F     C      F
And an archland burns   far away

Verse 2:
        F                  Bb
I had a girl I thought was true
            F                     C
But i turn around and she made me blue
         F              Bb
Now many miles keep us apart
            F    C             F
And I don't know  what's in my heart


Chorus:
      F          C           C          F
But I love you tonight, I'll love you tomorrow
                  F                         Bb
Let my headlights shine through the pouring rain
                    F      C            F
You see my red tail lights,   I'm gone again

SOLO:
F Bb F C
F Bb FCF

           F              Bb
Maybe some day the road I ride
              F            C
Won't seem so long to me inside
               F                    Bb
And the path I take will be a rocky one
         F     C           F
But it's mine,   and mine alone

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO:
F Bb F C
F Bb FCF

Chorus:
      F          C           C          F
But I love you tonight, I'll love you tomorrow
                  F                         Bb
Let my headlights shine through the pouring rain
                    F      C            F
You see my red tail lights,   I'm gone again
                    F      C            F
You see my red tail lights,   I'm gone again
