Me And Kit Carruthers

[Intro ]
Am Em F Em Am Em F 
Am Em F Em Am Em F 



[Verso 1]
 
Am         Em         F               Em 
Me and Kit Carruthers race across the prairie 
Am         Em         Dm 
in the Richman's cadillac 
Am           Em        F            Em 
Fleeing over sagebrush oil refinery towers 
Am                 Em          Dm 
light the northern sky painted black 

And he said 
 


[Refrão]
 
Bm      G            Em        D A7 
"So you want another chance? 
Bm          G              D                A7 
Twelve noon new year's day the Grand Coulee Dam" 
Bm     G                Em          D A7 
It's a rendezvous we'll never keep 
Bm         G               D          A7 
Him in the chair and me in somebody's seat

[Verso 2]
 
Am           Em 
You'll marry another 
F               Em 
Barefoot in the garden 
Am             Em              Dm 
But he won't remember what you saw 
Am                Em      F              Em 
Trembling fingers holding shotgun barrel smoking 
Am                    Em         Dm 
Calling out your name across the cold 
 


[Refrão]
 
Bm                  G          Em               D A7 
I don't know what I saw in the dark that night 
Bm         G         D                          A7 
Hulking, silent mass amidst the boulders in the pale moonlight 
Dm       G              Em               D A7 
A coyote carcass on the side of the road 
Bm     G              D                     A7 
In the morning when I come to take you back home
