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

WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT?

C Am F C
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
C F G
Quarters piled high upon the table.
C Am F C
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
C Am G
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
C Am F C
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
Am F G
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
C Am F C
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
C Am G
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.
Am F
And where are you tonight?
Am F
When I left you in my dreams last night,
C G F
You promised me that we would be breaking free.
F G Am
Where are you tonight?
C Am F C
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
C Am G
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
C Am F C
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
C Am G
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
C Am
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
F C
with his arm around my shoulder,
C Am G
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
C Am F C
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
C Am G
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
Am F
And where are you tonight?
Am F
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
C G Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
Em F
And where are you tonight?
Em F
I think I can make it through all right,
F Em Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.
