Mcmurtry James - Melinda guitar tab

D G D

D G D G D

Don't expect no favors

D G D G D

nothing in return

D G D G D

Tell all your cross-eyed neighbors

D G D G D

that it's none of their concern

Open the shades Melinda

let in the outside air

I'm deep in doubt and I can't get out

and it must be dark in there

Chorus 1:

A G D

I wanna walk with you in the morning mist

A G D

Though I should be home by now

A G D

And there must be some way outta this

A G D

I was thinking you'd know how

A G D

And my judgement may be shaky

A G D

And my shoes are soaking through

A G D

'Cause the weeds are wet and I haven't yet

A G D

Made any sense of you

All the midnight angels

Fold their wings by dawn

The same old wild-eyed strangers

Sit and watch em till they're gone

I let the night unravel

Forget my vain pursuits

'Cept to feel that gray rock gravel

On your road beneath my boots

Chorus 2:

I wanna walk with you in the changing light

When the shadows twist and play

And the ghosts that kept me out all night

We can chase em all away

And the talk of those that wonder

And the talk of those that curse

Let em have their thrill, they'll need it

We'll be no more for the worse

Bridge:

Bm D

Shine your eyes upon me

Bm G

whisper long and low

Bm D

Mindful of the longing

A G Bm

that we ever more may know

Up the ridge on past you

Looking down below

You can see the stacks of Danville

Wwhen the clouds don't hang so low

Should you take a mind to

Won't you join me there

Open the shades Melinda

Let in the outside air
