Calexico

The Ride

Beneath the neon hub of downtown
The local hotel ghosts blow back around
Descend on those drugstore cowboy nights
Pattern: On e string 1 3 1 0 followed by Dm
Cling to the bar, then disappear from sight
Then: Cm C#m Dm Cm C#m Dm D#m D#m Em Fm
Back to the daily regime
Where the late night graveyard shift dampens your dreams
Bitten by the desire and the spell
That leaves you stranded out On the other side of town
