Key: D
Introduction: D
D A
Out in the Red Rock Desert
D
Sitting on the roof of my car
A
Drinking cans of warm beer
D
Watching the sky get dark
G D
Gail and I shot our empties
A D
with an old rusted rifle
G D
Her golden hair went flying
Bm F#
Like a wild brush fire
G A D
When the mountains turned red at dusk
D A
Time passed in the burning desert
D
and the tumbleweeds they tumbled
A
We lay in a golden fire
D
As the screaming buzzards circled
Bm F#
Far down the darkened valley
G D
The city lights still twinkled
Bm F#
But my eyes saw only Gail
G D
And her hair of golden fire
G A D
When the mountains turned red at dusk
D A
But the fire it burned right through her
D
Gail followed unseen voices
A
They led her to the city
D
Deep in the darkened valley
G D
I drove circles through the alleys
A D
Calling my burning lover
G D
But Gail ran deeper into the gloom
A D
Screaming at the streetlights
Bm F#
And I lost her there forever
G D
Deep in the valley's darkness
A
My Gail with the golden hair
G D
That burns bright as fire
G A D
When the mountains turned red at dusk
