  {t:Too Long In The Wasteland}

  {st:James McMurtry}

  

  [D]Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks

  There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox   [G]

  Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind   [D]

  [Bb]   Too long in the wasteland, [A]    Too long in the wasteland

  I've [D]fallin' behind

  

  [D]She said won't you come see me, When the sun goes down

  It'll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around  [G]

  Well I don't know, I might not speak the language any more  [D]

  [Bb]   Too long in the wasteland, [A]    Too long in the wasteland

  I've [D]closed some doors

  

  

  [D]People in the village, Watch the children play

  At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away   [G]

  Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say   [D]

  [Bb]   Too long in the wasteland, [A]    Too long in the wasteland

  What's [D]made him that way

  

  

  [D]I hadn't intended, To bend the rules

  Wiskey dont make liers, It just makes fools   [G]

  So I didn't mean to say it, But I meant what I said   [D]

  [Bb]   Too long in the wasteland, [A]    Too long in the wasteland

  Must have [D]gone to my head

  

  {comment: Instrumental with some vocal sounds }

  

  [D]Jet trails in the sunset, a long way away

  cuttin' cross the horizon, At the edge of the day  [G]

  And it calls out to me, Come fly away, I've been     [D]

  [Bb]   Too long in the wasteland, [A]    Too long in the wasteland

  I believe I'll [D]have to stay

  

  [Bb]   Too long in the wasteland, [A]    Too long in the wasteland

  I'll [D]have to stay

  

  {comment: Final instrumental }

  

  [D] There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon

  Bullet holes in the mailbox   [G]

  Bullet holes in the mailbox   [D]
