- The whippoorwills were crying in the falling rain
- C G F F
- Far away a whistle hailed a passing train
- Am G F G
- Out in the country summer was almost gone
- Am Em F G G
- The fields were turning rusty and the hills were turning brown
-
- C G F F
- Now I think of you when summer stars are on the rise
- C G F F
- I think of you with a bottle of wine and lazy eyes
- Am G F G
- Playing rock and roll songs on an old guitar

- My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns
- F G C G F F C G F F
- But babe, you know, I still look out for you
-
- The cars were all abandoned on the city streets
- When snow had left us stranded then we used our feet
- And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar
- And now when it starts storming I wonder where you are
-
- 'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you
- You said to never trust a man who sings the blues
- Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need
- If you found a way to love the girl in me
-
- [Chorus]
-
- [Guitar solo: C G F F etc.]
-
- Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes
- Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times
- Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you
- Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues
-
- [Chorus]
-
- [Fade-out: F(9) F(9) C(9) C(9) etc.]
