Verse 1.
C Am F C
Met on an interstate bound for Carolina
Am C F C
It sure is hard to get there but your soul knows the way
C Am F C
She had the gift of tongue, laurels and medals
Am C F C
He gave up that life long before today
Chorus 1.
G F C
She was fourteen years old
Am F C C/B
He was barely a man
Am G F
Now she's pickin' up her life
G C FF C FF
An' he sings in the band
Verse 2.
Her eyes light up the night like itty bits of sequin
She likes his face, a story of its own
Company's a fright, lonely in Manhattan
Waiting for a savior or to see his show
Chorus 2.
She grew out her hair
Says she wants to be a star
It's a long road to Heaven
From the backseat of a car
C FF C C/B
Change:
Am G/B F C
A dancer, a poet, a living existential
Am F C C/B
Nothing St. Estephe cannot save
Am G/B F C
One can escape from running in circles
Am F G
Promises die in the grave
Verse 3.
Night they finally spent, Winona Minnesota
A pretty face was born here, the ugly pass away
Holy is the magic in this life or after
Romance is a stranger, lets a lover stay
Chorus 3.
Now she's twenty years old
An' she's found another man
Now she's lookin' back on life
And he sings in the band
C FF C FF C
Great road trippin tune to sing along to or play along to.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BEGGARS BRIDGE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
