Someone was looking for some James McMurtry songs.

I transcribed this some time ago. Corrections welcome.

====================================================================

{t:Too Long In The Wasteland}

{st:James McMurtry}

[D]Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks

There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox [G]

Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind [D]

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland

I've [D]fallin' behind

[D]She said won't you come see me, When the sun goes down

It'll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around [G]

Well I don't know, I might not speak the language any more [D]

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland

I've [D]closed some doors

[D]People in the village, Watch the children play

At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away [G]

Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say [D]

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland

What's [D]made him that way

[D]I hadn't intended, To bend the rules

Wiskey dont make liers, It just makes fools [G]

So I didn't mean to say it, But I meant what I said [D]

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland

Must have [D]gone to my head

{comment: Instrumental with some vocal sounds }

[D]Jet trails in the sunset, a long way away

cuttin' cross the horizon, At the edge of the day [G]

And it calls out to me, Come fly away, I've been [D]

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland

I believe I'll [D]have to stay

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland

I'll [D]have to stay

{comment: Final instrumental }

[D] There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon

Bullet holes in the mailbox [G]

Bullet holes in the mailbox [D]
