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

[Intro]
G G
[Verse]
G C
Mornings feel so damn sad these days
F C G
Without the call of the eight-fifteen.
G C
That old familiar echo has finally died away
F C G
Leaving nothing but a chill where there once was a mighty scream.
[Chorus]
C G
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber.
C G
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock.
Am Em
And now that we've got nothing left to take we're told
F C
That the wheels will stop turning, the whistles will stop blowing,
C Em7 Em G
That this foolish dream must stop.
[Verse]
G C
Last year they closed down the post office,
F C G
Took the only flag we had in town.
G C
That old brick building still stands like a cenotaph
F C G
To a vision lost and buried in a very distant past.
[Chorus]
C G
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber.
C G
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock.
Am Em
And now that we've got nothing left to take we're told
F C
That the wheels will stop turning, the whistles will stop blowing,
C Em7 Em G
That this foolish dream must stop.
[Bridge]
Dm Am C G
The longest train I've ever seen was the train that you were on.
Dm Am C G
I walked you to the station, we kissed and you were gone.
F Bb A
I dream at night about you coming home.
E G
The train in the station, your uniform on fire
D C
As you stepped onto the platform the band plays a little louder,
Bm Am G
And as we embrace your cap falls off.
Am C G
O-o-oh, I guess this foolish dream must stop.
[Verse]
G C
Mornings feel so damn sad these days
F C G
Without the call of the eight-fifteen.
G C
Looks like this town is finally gonna die away
F C G
Leaving nothing but broken promises where there once was small town dreams
[Chorus]
C G
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber.
C G
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock.
Am Em
And now that we've got nothing left to take we're told
F C
That the Tv station will be closing main street windows will need boarding
C Em7 Am G
That this foolish dream must stop.
