WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT?
written by M. Timmins and The Cowboy Junkies,
from the album Caution Horses
submitted and transcribed in June 1998
by Brent Wood, bwood@artcenter.edu
C Am F C
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
C F G
Quarters piled high upon the table.
C Am F C
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
C Am G
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
C Am F C
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
Am F G
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
C Am F C
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
C Am G
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.
Am F
And where are you tonight?
Am F
When I left you in my dreams last night,
C G F
You promised me that we would be breaking free.
F G Am
Where are you tonight?
C Am F C
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
C Am G
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
C Am F C
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
C Am G
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
C Am
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
F C
with his arm around my shoulder,
C Am G
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
C Am F C
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
C Am G
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
Am F
And where are you tonight?
Am F
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
C G Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
Em F
And where are you tonight?
Em F
I think I can make it through all right,
F Em Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
These Cowboy Junkies songs are so cool to play on guitar.

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 COWBOY JUNKIES 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.
