Gulf Road

	  		
                      E                        C#m 
  Not a hot cup of coffee, nor a cold glass of tea 
       A                             E 
  Ever crossed your lips, in my company 
  E                                      C#m 
  Straight bourbon whiskey, was all we'd abide 
           A                                         E 
  So let's don't hold back, now we've got nothing to hide 


               E                    C#m 
  So much we savored yet so much we missed 
           A                                E 
  You know I never meant you to see me like this 
                       E                             C#m 
  Just a faint distant flicker, from the last of the storm 
             A                                    E 
  You know a taste of that liquor, could do me no harm 

 
             C#m    A           E 
  Light me a candle, light me a fire 
                  B      A                E 
  Come sit by the window, with the shades drawn 
                 C#m        A                 E 
  To the best of intentions, and the worst of desires 
                     B         A            E 
  We'll leave by the Gulf Road, in the gray dawn 



                       E                           C#m 
  Take a short handled shovel, take a long handled hoe 
     A                              E   
  Cover my bones when the west wind blows 
                E                  C#m 
  Smooth it off even, pack it down hard 
          A                                E                
  I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far 
          A                                E 
  I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far 

Chorus
