Chris Ledoux – The Passenger chords
Chords:
The Passenger By Chris LeDouxG EmIt was dark and I was drivin' down a loney Texas roadC D EmThe night was hot and sleep pulled at my eyesG EmI was thinkin' bout the wild times and the women that I'd hadC D EmThe deceitful things I'd done and those liesG DStandin' in the shadows by the side of the roadC EmWas a figure of a withered old manG DHe wore a black bandanna a rolled brim Stetson hatC EmWith a two inch scarlet hat bandG EmHe held his wrinkled hand up as a sign to shut her downC D EmSo I pulled over and stopped by his sideG EmHe opened up the door slid in and sat downC D EmHe said my ain't it hot tonightG DI studied this old man and it seemed mighty strangeC EmFor him to be out here all aloneG DThen he started talkin' and he told me many thingsC EmOf times like both of us had knownG EmHe told me of the wild life and the women that he'd hadC D EmHow none of them had ever meant a thingG EmAnd he told me of a black night much the same as thisC D EmOf the strange and awesome things he'd seenG DA man beside the road had raised his handC Emand flagged him down so he stopped and let him inG DThat stranger told him stories like I am hearing nowC EmBout the wild times and all the sinG EmThen the car got cold and clammy and this old man looked at meC D EmHe said boy I've come here for youG EmYour days of wicked sinnin' have come to an endC D Emand as mortal on this earth boy you are throughG DThen his eyes got red and fiery as he took his Stetson offC EmTo reveal his evil horns shiny and blackG DMy God the fear came o'er me and my senses were all lostC EmI fought with him until we finally crashedG EmNext day the car was found at the bottom of a drawC D EmThe young cowboy was found beside the wreckGHis car had been consumed by fireEmbut the cowboy had no marksC D EmExcept the smokin' pitch fork brand upon his neckThat's it! Have fun!
