Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
                         G                                             C 
Now they're still racing out at the trestles
                   G                                                       C 
But that blood it never burned in her veins
             G 
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
             G                                                 C 
And a style she's trying to maintain
                         G               C 
Well if she wants to see me
                 G                                 C           G       Em 
You can tell her that I'm easily found
 G                                   C                               G 
Tell her there's a spot out beneath Abram's Bridge
                           D                                                 C 
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
 D                                                 C   G       D 
There's a darkness on the edge of town
         G                                 C 
Now everybody's got a secret Sonny
           G                                                           C 
Just something that they just can't face
                                 G                                                                 C 
Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
                             G                                                           C 
They carry it with them every step that they take
           G                       C                     G 
Till someday they just cut it loose
                                               C               G     Em 
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
             G           C                                         G                                           C       Em 
Where no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face
 D                                           C 
In the darkness on the edge of town
 D                                           C   G       D 
In the darkness on the edge of town

         G                                                   C 
Now some folks are born into a good life
             G                                                     C 
Other folks they get it anyway anyhow
                       G                                     C 
Well me, I lost my money and I lost my wife
             G                                                           C 
Those things don't matter much to me now
                                         G                   C                     G             C 
'Cause tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
           G                   C                 G                       Em 
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
 G                       C                                         G                 C 
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
           G                     C                         G             C 
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
         G             C                             G             Em 
For wanting things that can only be found
 D                                           C 
In the darkness on the edge of town
 D                                           C   G       D 
In the darkness on the edge of town
