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

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first tab. Didn't see it on here so I figured it out. Listen to the song if
you want the picking pattern. This also sounds pretty good strumming on an acoustic.
C Am
This street holds its secrets
C Am
like a cobra holds its kill
C Am
This street minds its business
C Am
like a jailer minds his jail
F G
That house there is haunted
C Am
That door's a portal to hell
F G
This street holds its secrets
C Am
very well
second verse same pattern
That man wears his skin
like a dancer wears her veils
That man stalks his victims
like a cancer stalks a cell
That man's soul has left him his heart's as
deadly as a rusty nail
That man sheds his skin
like a veil
Bridge
Dm G C Am
Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule
C C/B F G
Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose
Dm Am C F
All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe
F G
And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place
Third Verse same as others
This life holds its secrets
like a sea shell holds the sea,
Soft and distant calling like a
fading memory
This life has its victories but its
defeats tear so viciously
This life holds its secrets
like the sea
The album version just fades on the C Am so just end it where you feel like. I
usually end on a C.
