Biography:
Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name

Pale Sun
by Michael Timmins (from the Cowboy Junkies web site)
Am Em
Fifty miles from Dakota territory
C E Am
Cheyenne scalp hangs from his belt
Am Em
Found him alone washing in the Bighorn
C E Am
a steady aim and he bagged his game
Dm Am
Pale sun falls without contest
Dm Am
Here is obedient darkness
G Am
He will not return
Am Em
White Cadillac, white man at the wheel,
C E Am
white faces on the mountain, wounds that will never heal
Am Em
Black clouds overhead, old man says looks like rain
C E Am
Thieves' Road winds to the Black Hills sign says South Dakota, U.S.A.
Dm Am
Grass plains stretch to the horizon,
Dm Am
not a soul can be found on them
G Am
They will not return
Bb C C Bb A Am7 A Bb Am7 Bb A
Bb C C Bb A Am7 A Bb Am7 A
Am Em
Old rusted pickup and a mad dog in the yard,
C E Am
purple paint peels but fails to reveal the bitterness that grows inside
Am Em
Cloud of dust in the distance, strange knock beneath my hood
C E Am
Is it better to have words left unsaid than to have words misunderstood?
Dm Am
Pale sun falls without contest
Dm Am
Here is obedient darkness
G Am
It will return
G Am
I know it will return
G Am
It will return.
