SHELTER IN THE LIGHT

C                                C/E
Sometimes I wish I was six months on the road

      F        G              C.......F...G...C.....G....
In a motel room in Mobile

C                                C7              F                     Dm
Curtain drawn and the TV on and a suitcase on the bed

            F               Bb    F      C.........F....G
I would never tell exactly how I feel

 

         C                                                  C/E
Out along that midnight highway you are always somewhere bound

       F                    G                            C..........G
And always coming from somewhere you been

       C                  C7          F                        Dm
And if you end up nowhere, still the time goes by

                F                  Bb         F       G
And your guitar is your constant lonely friend 

        F                 G           Am...........Am..G
        If I could forget you I would

        F                        G               Am..........Am...G
        Leave your face behind me for good

        F                     G/F                   Am/F              Dm/F
       Lay my heart of hearts in front of strangers every night

...C...F                           G                  C

        Stand there seeking shelter in the light 

        Instr. Tag:   Bb.........F.........C.......... (2X)


Sometimes I wish I had never been in love
Or that you’d not been the one
Sometimes I wish I’d never been born
But there’s no crying over what’s already done

Sometimes I wish I could want what you want
Little picket fence beside the road
And sometimes I wish horses could fly
And my guitar strings would all turn to gold

        Chorus
