Paint The Town Beige Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

D D/C♯ D/B D/A G [G/f#] Em

I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road

DJust burned out all that talk aAbout the mother lode

D D/C♯ D/B D/A G [G/f#] Em

I traded for a songbird and a bigger piece of sky

DWhen I miss the good old days, I Acan’t imagine Dwhy

Chorus

Still I get Grestless and drive into Dtown

I Acruise once down Main Street and turn back arDound

It’s crazy but GGod knows I don’t act my Dage

Like an old desperAado who paints the town Dbeige

D D/C♯ D/B D/A

Down along the river and past the swimming hole

You can find your peace of mind with just a fishin’ pole

And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end

And never stop believin’ in that dream around the bend

Chorus

Deep down in the winter time slows to a crawl

There’s really nothin’ much to do until the first spring thaw

It’s then I get to thinkin’ I must have gone insane

Old memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train
