Chords and lyrics for The Poet by Ryan Bingham (key of D).
Verse 1
Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses - The Poet
Junky Star
[Bm]As I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
The [D]desert sky she flys by for miles
[Bm]As I keep walkin’ people keep talkin’
About [D]things they’ve never scene or done,
[Bm]Homeless sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
I [D]myself just move on through town
[Bm]The moon keeps on shinin’
The rich keep on dinin’
Oh how i[D] love the highway sun
[Em]Out [G]to the [D]back, the poet writes his songs in blood
[Bm]Coyotes are callin’
Stars keep on fallin’
Your [D]mother she won’t be around
[Bm]A feather blows down the road
The wind is cold and your wings are broke
And your[D] heart is livin’ on the run
[Bm]Lonely and wasted, her eyes replaced it
I don’t [D]think I’ll make another mile
[Bm]From town to town I run
My horse ain’t to drunk
The [D]daylight is singin to the sun
[Em]Out to [G]the [D]back, the poet writes his songs in blood
[Bm]Juke box is barkin’
I’m just getting started
I’ve [D]yet to see the light of day
[Bm]Senoritias lose it to the mariachi music
Cause [D]new york is too far away
[Bm]The band keeps on playin’
With beer bottles breakin’
The [D]barmaid I heard pulled a gun
[Bm]Poet takes a pistol, points at this sister
Says[D] honey your day is done
[Em]Out to [G]the [D]back, the poet writes his songs in blood
[Em]Out to [G]the [D]back, the poet writes his songs in blood
