Darkness On The Edge Of Town

VERSE 1:
 4    -4      5     5  5   5  -4  4   -4   4
Well they're still racing out at the trestles

 4   -4    5    5  5 5    5    -4   4     4
But that blood it never burned in their veins

 4  -4  5   5     5  5   5   -4 4   -4   4
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview

 4  -4  5     5     5 5   5  -4  4
And a style she's trying to maintain


CHORUS:
 7    7  7    7   -6  -6  6
Well if she wants to see me

 7   7   7    -6  -6  -6  -6 6 5 5 -4 4
You can tell her that I'm easily found

 7    7    7     7  7    7    7    -6-6     -6
Tell her there's a spot out neath Abram's Bridge

 6    6
Tell her

  -4    -4 -4  -4  -4  5   -4  4   4
There's a darkness on the edge of town

  -4   -4  -4  -4  -4  5 -55-45-4  4  4
There's a darkness on the e-d-g-e of town


VERSE 2:

 4    5  5 5 5   -4  4  -4 -4  4 4
Well everybody's got a secret Sonny

  5  5     5     5    5   -4     4
Something that they just can't face

 4    -4     5     5     5     5
Some folks spend their whole lives 

 5 -4   4  -4  4
Trying to keep it

  4   -4-4 5   5     5   5 5    5   -4   -4   4
They carry it with them every step that they take


CHORUS:
 7    7  7     7   7    7  7    7
Till someday they just cut it loose

 7  7    7   -6  -6 -6  -6  6   6
Cut it loose or let it drag em down

  7    7  7   7    7    7    7
Where no one asks any questions

7    7    7    -6 -6   6   6
Or looks too long in your face

-4  -4  -4  -4  -4  5   -4   4   4
In the darkness on the edge of town

-4  -4  -4  -4  -4  5  -55-45-4 4   4  
In the darkness on the e-d-g-e of town


(Instrumental Solo)


VERSE 3:
 5    5     5   5    -4 -4  -4   4
Some folks are born into a good life

 5   5 5    5    5   5 -4-4-4 -4 4 4   
And other folks get it anyway anyhow

 4    -4 -4 5   5   5 -4 -4  -4 -4  4    4
Well now I lost my money and I lost my wife

 4      4     -4   5   5  5   5   -4  -4 4   4
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now


CHORUS:
 7  7     7   7  7   7    7   -6   -6  6    6
Tonight I'll be on that hill cause I can't stop

 7   7   7  7     7   -6  -6-6    -6  6  6
I'll be on that hill with every thing I got

 7    -6  -6  -6    6     6     -6  -6    6    6
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost

 7   7    7   7    7  -6-6  -6  -6  6   6
I'll be there on time ready to pay the cost

 7   7   -6   -6    6    6   5 5 5    5
For wanting things that can only be found

-4  -4  -4  -4  -4  5   -4   4   4
In the darkness on the edge of town

-4  -4  -4  -4  -4  5  -55-45-4 4   4
In the darkness on the e-d-g-e of town
