Intro : G/f# 2x
Verse I:
G/f#
Last night I had me a nightmare
G/f#
Dreamed that Texas was burning down...burning down
And all them people, I had grown up to love
Leaving town
Chorus:
G/f#
I cried "oh Holy Moses, bring blood to the Red Red Sea
G/f#
Bring back Townes Van Zandt, and my heroes back to me
G/f#
Because I can play their songs, but it ain't they way they do
It ain't they way they do."
G/f#
I had a nightmare, a nightmare, it was a nightmare.
Verse II:
G/f#
Buddy Holly was riding on the wind
G/f#
Stevie Ray, well he was too
G/f#
When their star, come tumbling to the ground
Wasn't a thing that all the king's horses
And all the king's men could do
G/f#
Me I've just got my ol' bar stool
G/f#
And man it's burning me down...burning me down
G/f#
Just like a brush fire, that burns on through the night
One of these days I'm just going
These days I'm going to burn on out
Repeat Chorus
G/f#
