Asheville

    C        F         G
The air was cold that morning
         C      F       G
and the coffee tasted black
         C         F           
He said play us a song, you're a 
   G
first here,
       C                  F       
and I don't think that's too much 
   G
to ask.
     C          F            G
But lonely and scared we declined 
here.
      C        F      G
Said maybe on my way back.
              C             F 
But I've got mountains to cross 
           G
before moonshine,
    C          F            G
and already a weight on my back.

We tiptoed stumbling across at a 
   Am             G
heartbreaking speed,
          C            F         
passed the parking lot on to the 
G
highway.
       C            F            
And to mumble one's thoughts is a
A               G
 heartbreaking deed.
       Am                        G
Maybe just one of you could go my 
way.

               C           F      
He closed his eyes on the side of 
   G
a church, right side of Tennessee
    C                 F         
But never slept that well next to 
   G
strangers, anyway.
       C              F      
Waved goodbye to the footpath, 
         G                     
colder now than he had grown to 
          C
believe
           F           G          
One more cigarette to chase these 
              C  F  G  C  F  G
night fears away.

        C             F        
Yes, you can take me home, but I 
    G
will not buy you dinner.
       C                 F        
Well, I better head back now, lack
     G                          
 of sleep has caused my blood to 
        C
grow thinner
           F                G
And these mountain roads can be 
quite treacherous
         C               F        
Step back sir - I may be small, 
          G                        
but I can put up quite a fuss right
C  F  G
 now.
                   C F G     
I hate this part of town. Where 
                      C F G      
every shop's closed down. I hate 
               C F G
this part of town.
      C F G                   C 
Right now, I hate this part of 
F G                           C 
town. Where every shop's closed 
F G                     C F G
down. I hate this part of town.
