The Passenger Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

It was Gdark and I was drivin' down a Emloney Texas road

The Cnight was hot and Dsleep pulled at my Emeyes

I was Gthinkin' bout the wild Emtimes and the women that I'd had

The deCceitful things I'd Ddone and those Emlies

GStandin' in the shadows by the Dside of the road

Was a Cfigure of a withered old Emman

He Gwore a black bandanna a Drolled brim Stetson hat

With a Ctwo inch scarlet hat Emband

He Gheld his wrinkled hand up as a Emsign to shut her down

So I Cpulled over and Dstopped by his Emside

He Gopened up the door slid Emin and sat down

He said Cmy Dain't it hot toEmnight

I Gstudied this old man and it Dseemed mighty strange

For Chim to be out here all Emalone

GThen he started talkin' and he Dtold me many things

Of Ctimes like both of us had Emknown

He Gtold me of the wild life and the Emwomen that he'd had

How Cnone of them had Dever meant a Emthing

And he Gtold me of a black night Emmuch the same as this

Of the Cstrange and Dawesome things he'd Emseen

GA man beside the road had raised his Dhand

and flagged him down so he Cstopped and let him Emin

That Gstranger told him stories like DI am hearing now

Bout the Cwild times and all the Emsin

Then the Gcar got cold and clammy and this Emold man looked at me

He said Cboy I've Dcome here for Emyou

Your Gdays of wicked sinnin' have Emcome to an end

and as Cmortal on this Dearth boy you are Emthrough

Then his Geyes got red and fiery as he Dtook his Stetson off

To reCveal his evil horns shiny and Emblack

My GGod the fear came o'er me and my Dsenses were all lost

I Cfought with him until we finally Emcrashed

Next Gday the car was found at the Embottom of a draw

The young Ccowboy was Dfound beside the Emwreck

His Gcar had been consumed by fire

but the cowboy had no Emmarks

Except the Csmokin' pitch fork Dbrand upon his Emneck

That's it! Have fun!
