E
Since it's too late to stay here
              C#m       G#m    E
Maybe I could take up a seat?

It's getting hard to keep walking
           C#m        G#m     E
With these phrases on repeat
                   F#m
Sure as high times in summer
               G#m          C#m    
Will lead to a heartache in fall
F#m

                   A
If I get over that river, babe
                            E
I'll run blindly through it all

[Chorus]
A       E
Come on down
A       E
Come on down
A                 G#m C#m
You might be the only one

E
It was almost time for bed
      C#m        G#m              
And I tried to keep from wondering
  E

Of something so close it was too 
C#m     G#m
easy to see
E                 F#m
The image of that one girl
             G#m     C#m
The one that left me gunned down
F#m            A                 
Showed herself in to keep me 
     E
company

E                            C#m 
With a motor in my head that 
       G#m
won't stop running
E                        C#m     
A hand in my pocket that won't 
       G#m
leave me be
E             F#m                
That storm in my belly you know 
       G#m      C#m
it just keeps on thundering
             F#m A                
And it won't hush till you drift 
     E
to me

[Chorus]
A          E
So come on down
A       E
Come on down
A                 G#m C#m
You might be the only one
A                   E
You're my good luck charm
A                    G#m     C#m
The smoke that never left my lungs
D               A
You're the only one

          G#m   F#m7    E
There's a ferry up the river
G#m7           F#m7     B  E
Taking me from here to you

There's a fifteen and the forty five
C#m                    G#m   E
That's all you need to know
Two dollars ain't too bad when you 
    C#m        G#m
got nowhere to go
         E       F#m              
But if I keep on thinking how the 
       G#m      C#m    F#m
hell I got here alone
               A            E
I may never know what could be
      F#m            A            
And I won't find out until you 
      E
drift to me
