Тональность
E F#m
Bringing me down, I'm running aground,
D A E
Blind in the light of the interstate cars
E F#m
Passing me by, the busses and semi's,
D A E
Plunging like stones from a slingshot on mars
A D C#m Bm A
But I'm here by the road, bound to the load
Bm E
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars
A D C#m Bm A
Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up
Bm E
The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars
D C#m A
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in
E C A
With its words of a life where nothing is new
D C#m E A
Ah, mother american night, I'm lost from the light
G D A
Oh, I'm drowning in you
E F#m D A E
I left St. Louis, city of blues, in the midst of a storm
I'd rather forget
E F#m
I tried to pretend it came to an end
D A E
Cause you weren't the woman I once thought I'd met
A D C#m Bm A Bm
But I can't deny, that times have gone by Bm
Bm E
Where I never had doubts or thoughts of regret
A D C#m Bm A
And I was a man when all this began
Bm E
Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet
D C#m A
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in
E C A
And it speaks of a life that passes like dew
D C#m E A
It's forced me to see that you've done better by me
G D A
Better by me than I've done by you
E F#m
Now what's to be found racing around.
D A E
You carry your pain wherever you go
E F#m
All full of the blues and trying to lose
D A E
You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know
A D C#m Bm A
So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
Bm E
Please help them to learn as well as to see
A D C#m Bm A
Capture a glance, and make it dance
Bm E
Of looking at you, looking at me
D C#m A
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in
E C A
With its words of a lie that could almost be true
D C#m E A
Ah, mother american night, here comes the light
G D A
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do
G D A
Going back home that's what I'm gonna do
