D (hammer off/on third string, listen to the song)
    D                        A
The tired winds blow and the restless go home
        G                      D
and the haggard lies down to sleep
         D                      A          
Where the hours go slow and the beauty we know
        G              D
is the love, that is the key

G                              D
Lay awake and breath while the fire overtakes me
G                        D                         A
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home

         D                          A
When the curtains do close and the night becomes old
        G                   D
and the willing go on their way
           D                  A
No ones in sight so they shut down the lights
          G                      D
Since the bottles all have gone dry

D (lift index finger like intro)

Harp solo in D:

         D                          A
When it rains son it pours heaven opens its doors
        G                   D
to drop hell straight from the sky
           D                  A
The open road’s gone and the darkness is calm
  G                      D
Enough to take your dear life

G                              D
Stay awake and breathe, and struggle to stay in the lines
G                        D                         A
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home

         D                          A
When the curtains do close and the night becomes old
        G                   D
and the stragglers all find their way
           D                  A
No ones in sight so they shut down the lights
           G                      D
Since the bottles all have gone dry

G                              D
Stay awake and breathe, while the fire overtakes me
G                        D                         A
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel she brought me home

    D                        A
The tired winds blow and the restless go home
        G                      D
and the haggard lies down to sleep
         D                      A          
Where the hours go slow and the beauty we know
        G              D
is the love, that is the key
