The Key Eric Johnson seems to play it in....i think?
Well he got
G Am
Lonely every time a canteen of lights came up
C G Gsus - G
On the Indian Casino Queen Cus he’d loved her from the time she’d been the
Am C D
waitress at the Mexican place where he’d left his keys
Am G
She’d been there smile’n at the lost and found
C /B Am Bm (Bm Bbm Am)
Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin’ at the fairgrounds
Am G Gsus G
Holdin’ hands singin “Joy to the World”
G D C
She was way too young
G D Em
But he did not care
A C
He was alright with cashin’ in
A C C(fade)
A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in
[Riff]
G-Gsus-G (fade)
Well he
G Am
died a little bit each time the night came in
C G Gsus G
And the stars fell over Michigan Cus he’d loved her at the ball when he saw her
Am C D
dancing to “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man”
Am G
Then he’d come over to his usual spot
C Em Bm (Bm Bbm Am)
Soon they were makin’ out at three AM in the empty parking lot
Am G Gsus G
They lay together under the burnt out stars
G D C
She never loved him back
G D Em
It wasn’t even close
A C
But he was fine with just pretend
A C
that it was never gonna end
A C
and it was worth it just to know
A C
A little warmth before the snow
