It was (G major) thunderin' and light (A minor) nin'

Well (G major) (E minor) (G major) we pulled into Hou

(A minor) (G major) then to years, (C major) then forever (G major)
I never (E minor) knew how (D major) fast time goes (G major) by

(C major) Cowboys in cars (D major) and (B minor) country

I'm so (D major) tired of being alone
(B minor)
