Mercenary Song
Tom: GFácilMercenary Song
by Steve Earle
G Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia
Met Hank down in D New Mexico G
We're G bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa
We hear that he's D paying in G gold
I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
Ain't found nothing better so far
Been called mercenaries and men with no country
Just soldiers in search of a war
We're C bound for the border
We're G soldiers of fortune
We'll D fight for no country
But we'll G die for good pay
C Under the flag of the G greenback dollar
Or the peso down D Mexico G way
When this way is over, I might go back to Georgia
And settle down quiet somewhere
I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile
Hear tell there's some trouble down there
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

Hometown Blues
Tom: GFácilHometown Blues
by Steve Earle
G I wish I'd never come back home
It don't feel right since I've been D grown
G I can't find any of my C old friends hangin' round
Won't G nothing bring you D down like your home G town
I spent some time in New Orleans
I had to live on rice and beans
I hitched through Texas when the sun was beating down
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown
C Home is where the heart is
Ain't that G what they always say
C My heart lies in broken pieces
D Scattered along the way
So don't think about me when I'm gone
I don't mind travelling alone
You are the sweetest little thing I ever found
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown

Open Your Window
Tom: DCapo 3Fácil(D)Just open your (G)window
On a night like (D)tonight
No matter which way the (G)wind blows
Let your heart out to (D)ride
(Em)High above all the (G)care and woe
(Bm)In the world down (A)below (D)
Just open your (G)window
(Bm)Then you'll know where to (A)go (D)
On a big city sidewalk
All alone in a crowd
No one listenin' when he talks
To himself right out loud
He was somebody's darlin' boy
She held him close when he cried
Just open your window
And let him inside
You may think that you're dreaming
You may think you've gone blind
If your eyes fail to see 'em
Listen hard and you'll find
There's a song that the angels know
Ringin' true every time
If you open your window
Let the music inside

Billy And Bonnie
Tom: GFácilBilly And Bonnie -Steve Earle
I Feel Alright 1996
(G)Billy was 17 and (C)mean as (G)hell (C G)
Bonnie said she was 30, it was (D)hard to (G)tell (D G)
Billy met Bonnie on a (C)Saturday (G)night (C G)
At the dirt track races, it was (D)love at first (G)sight
Bonnie was wilder than the (C)west wind (G)blows (C G)
Taught Billy every single (D)thing he (G)knows (D G)
But she never told billy what (C)she left (G)out (C G)
The part about the trouble when your (D)times runs (G)out (D G)
When the thrill is (C)gone, when your deal goes (G)south (C G)
It's all over when your (C)time runs (G)out (C G)
Other verses continue the same.
Bonnie said, "Billy, don't you think it's time
We moved on a little further down the line"
So they knocked off a Texaco south of town
Blew down the highway with the ragtop down
Billy woke Bonnie up about first light
Said, "You drive honey, I've been up all night"
Now Billy wasn't sweatin' no APB
?Cause they didn't leave a single soul alive to see
The boy was just 16, made his mama proud
That don't mean nothin' when your time runs out
Bonnie kept pushin' that Cadillac
Billy passed out with the seat reared back
Slept through Louisiana, then just past dark
Bonnie pulled over in a roadside park
Left Billy sleeping and she called the cops
He never knew nothin' when the dime was dropped
Bonnie knew what she had to do
She called the sheriff and she cried on cue
And the state police rousted Billy out
He was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran out
The sheriff told Billy, "Boy, you're bound to die
?Cause this young lady's gonna testify
That you done took her off against her will
And she told us about the robbery and the boy you killed"
The judge said, "Billy, what you got to say
Before I have the sheriff carry you away"
Billy looked Bonnie right in the eye
But he didn't even have to ask her why
But he turned around as they led him out
He said, "I'll see you down in hell when your time runs out"

Another Town
Tom: GFácilG One of these days when my minds made up
And I\'m sick and tired of hangin\' a(D)round
I\'ll be (Em) on my (C) way in a (G) cloud of (D) dust
On the (Em) road to (D) another (G) town
(G)Once upon a time I loved this house
Now I\'m thinkin\' \'bout burnin\' it (D) down
And I\'ll be (Em) long gone (D) when the (C) fire burns (G) out
On the (Em) way to a(D)nother (G)town
To see a(C)nother city in a(G)nother light
With my (Em) past behind me and my (D) future bright
(G)One of these days when I\'ve had enough
Buddy, you ain\'t gonna see me a(D)round
Just as (Em) soon as I (C) get my (G) courage (D) up
Gonna (Em) take it to a(D)nother (G) town
(G)I used to walk these streets with my head held high
Now I\'m always lookin\' down at the (D) ground
But I (Em) see my (D) feet on the (C) outbound (G) side
Of a (Em) road to a(D)nother (G) town
(G)And I\'m gonna tell everybody I know
Yeah I\'m gonna spread it a(D)round
That there\'s a (Em) great big (C) world out (G) there where I (D) go
On the (Em) road to a(D)nother (G)town
To see a(C)nother city in a(G)nother light
With my (Em) past behind me and my (D) future bright
(G)One of these days when my mind\'s made up
And I\'m sick and tired of hangin\' a(D)round
I\'ll be (Em) down that (C) road in a (G) cloud of (D) dust
On the (Em) way to (D) another (G) town

Me And The Eagle
Tom: DFácilThe eagle looked (D) down on the river below (D)
(D)And he wrapped his wings (A) round him, and he (G) fell like a stone
And the big salmon (D) fought but the (A) talons held (Bm)true (E)
(D)And he shuddered as the (A) world turned from (G) silver to blue (D)
(D)I stood there in awe though I?d seen it before
I was born in these (A) mountains, And I?ll (G) die here for sure
I?ve travelled (D) around I?ve (A) seen city (Bm) lights (E)
But (D) nothin? that (A) shined like the (G) big sky at (D) night
Some (A) mornings will find me up (D) above the timberline
(G) Lonesome don?t seem like much (D) once you?re this high
(D)When it?s all said and done I (A) usually (Bm) find (E)
(D) Me and the (A) eagle are (G) of the same (D) mind
Now when I was young I took me a wife
But she never took to the high country life
So now I ?m alone I don?t really mind
But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes
Rpt. Chorus
In my dreams there?s a horse, He stands eighteen hands high
He?s as white as the snow and there?s fire in his eyes
And he?ll bare only me though others have tried
And together we?ll travel up across the divide
Rpt. Chorus

Its All Up To You
Tom: GFácilby Steve Earle
No matter G which way the wind blows
It's alway cold when you're a C lone
Ain't no G candle in the window
You've got to find you're own way C home
D The rain ain''t gonna hurt you
It's come to wash away your C blues
It's all up to G you
Nobody said it would be easy
But it don't have to be this hard
If you're looking for a reason
Just stand right where you are
Now there ain't no one out to get you
They've got to walk in their own shoes
It's all up to you
It's all up to C you
No one else can get you G through
Right or wrong, win or D lose
C It's all up to G you
You can stand out on that highway
Look as far as you can see
But when you get to that horizon
There's always someplace else to be
But don't you stop to look behind you
'Cause you've got some travelling left to do
It's all up to you
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
Repeat 1st line of 1st verse

I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round
DAEA
Hangin' up my highway shoes
ADA
Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound
DAEA
And they carry me away from you
EDA
Every night I lay my body down
DADAE
My empty arms just leave me blue
ADA
So I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
DAEA
And find my way back home to you
ADADAEA
ADA
I have always been the travelin' kind
DAEA
A million miles behind me now
ADA
I kept on followin' that thin white line
DAEA
But now I want to turn around
EDA
I only lived to hear that highway sound
DADAE
High and lonesome - low and blue
ADA
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
DAEA
And find my way back home to you
Instrumental Bridge 2:

So say goodbye to all my ramblin' pals
DAEA
Ol' Highway Dave and Southside Sue
ADA
I don't believe they'll miss me anyhow
DAEA
What's one less wayward soul or two
EDA
Down the road they'll pass the jug around
DADAE
And they'll sing them lonesome highway blues
ADA
But me I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin'
'round
DAEA
And find my way back home to you
