Gulf Road Chords & Lyrics - James Mcmurtry

Not a hot cup of cof[E]fee, nor a cold glass of [C#m]tea
Ever [A]crossed your lips, in my compa[E]ny
[E]Straight bourbon whiskey, was all we'd [C#m]abide
So let's [A]don't hold back, now we've got nothing to [E]hide

So much we sa[E]vored yet so much we [C#m]missed
You know [A]I never meant you to see me like [E]this
Just a faint distant [E]flicker, from the last of the [C#m]storm
You know a [A]taste of that liquor, could do me no [E]harm

[CHORUS]
Light me a [C#m]candle,[A] light me a [E]fire
Come sit by the [B]window,[A] with the shades [E]drawn
To the best of [C#m]intentions,[A] and the worst of [E]desires
We'll leave by the [B]Gulf Road,[A] in the gray [E]dawn

Take a short handled [E]shovel, take a long handled [C#m]hoe
Cov[A]er my bones when the west wind [E]blows
Smooth it off [E]even, pack it down [C#m]hard
I'll no [A]more be here, but I'll never be f[E]ar
I'll no [A]more be here, but I'll never be f[E]ar

[CHORUS
