G                               C              G 
lately in the evening I've been thinking on my life 
                                  D  
and it cast a gloomy shadow on my soul 
G                                       C                  G 
I've got weakness for the flesh and for powdered speedin' death 
                       D             G 
and my heart is aching for my desert home 

G                                  C                G 
there are women in my life who get swallowed by the night 
                                   D 
they are faceless to me as I am to them 

G                                 C                  G  
I am troubled in the night by the thoughts of my own life 
                       D               G  
and my spirits sinking and my faith is thin 

           C                              G 
I'd rather be in your de Valley where the fuel they make is fine 
                     C                  D 
where sleep can't ever seem to catch me anywhere 

       G                              C              G           
so the sun begins to rise up now but still I see no lights 
                                        D 
and I fear the raise of hope will never shine 

          G                          C              G        
the devil he is creeping near and he whispers in my ear  
                         D          G   
telling me he'll give me all that I desire

so the sun begins to rise up now but still I see no lights

                         D          G
