Too Long in the Wasteland

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------## Someone was looking for some James McMurtry songs. I transcribed this some time ago. Corrections welcome. ==================================================================== D Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks G There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox D Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind Bb A Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland D I've fallin' behind D She said won't you come see me, When the sun goes down G It'll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around D Well I don't know, I might not speak the language any more Bb A Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland D I've closed some doors D People in the village, Watch the children play G At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away D Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say Bb A Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland D What's made him that way D I hadn't intended, To bend the rules G Wiskey dont make liers, It just makes fools D So I didn't mean to say it, But I meant what I said Bb A Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland D Must have gone to my head D Jet trails in the sunset, a long way away G cuttin' cross the horizon, At the edge of the day D And it calls out to me, Come fly away, I've been Bb A Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland D I believe I'll have to stay Bb A Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland D I'll have to stay D There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon G Bullet holes in the mailbox D Bullet holes in the mailbox
