One Headlight ALBUM: BRINGING DOWN THE HORSE (note: leads in D major pentatonic [B blues]) [verse] G-D-F#m-Bm G D So long ago I don't remember when F#m Bm That's when they say I lost my only friend They said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetary trees I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn I've long broken all of human law It always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face I wondered why she hung around this place G F#m Hey hey hey... [chorus:] G-D-Em-A G D Come on try a little Nothing is forever Em A There's got to be something better than in the middle G D Me and Cinderella Put it all together Em A We can drive it home ... with one headlight. [verse] She said its cold it feels like independence day And I can't break away from this parade But theres got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge Saying all is good and nothing less its dead Runnin' till she's out of breath She ran until there's nothing left She hit the end its just her window ledge G F#m Hey hey hey... [chorus] This place is old feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn With smells of cheap ol' wine and cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn So alone I feel just like somebody else Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between These city walls and dyin' dreams I think her death it must be killing me G F#m Hey hey hey... [chorus]
