That Song About The Midway Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO]
[D] [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 1]
I [A]met you on a [G]midway at a fair last [D]year
And you [A]stood out like a [G]ruby in a black man's [D]ear
You were [C]playing on the [G]horses
You were [D]playing on the guitar [C]strings
You were [G]playing like a devil wearing [D]wings

[CHORUS]
Wearing [C]wings, you looked so grand
Wearing [G]wing[D]s___
Do you [C]tape them to your [G]shoulders just to [D]sing?
Can you [C]fly?

I heard you can
Can you [G]fly[D]___?
Like an [C]eagle, doing your [G]hunting from the [D]sky [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 2]
I [A]followed with the [G]sideshows to another [D]town
And I [A]found you in a [G]trailer on the camping [D]grounds
You were [C]betting on some [G]lover
You were [D]shaking up the [C]dice
And I [G]thought I saw you cheating once or [D]twice

[CHORUS]
Once or [C]twice
I heard your bid once or [G]twic[D]e___
Were you [C]wondering, was the [G]gamble worth the [D]price
Pack it [C]in

I heard you did
Pack it [G]in_[D]__
Was it [C]hard to fold a [G]hand you knew could [D]win? [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 3]
So [A]lately you've been [G]hiding, it was somewhere in the [D]news
And [A]I'm still at these [G]races with my ticket stubs and my [D]blues
And a [C]voice calls out the [G]numbers
And it [D]sometimes mentions [C]mine
And I [G]feel like I've been working over[D]time

[CHORUS]
Over[C]time
I've lost my fire over[G]tim[D]e___
Always [C]playing one more [G]hand for one more [D]dime
Slowing [C]down

I'm getting tired
Slowing [G]dow[D]n___
And I [C]envy you the [G]valley that you've [D]found
'Cause I'm [C]midway down the midway
Slowing [D]down, [C]down, [G]down[D]____
