Tonart: E major
Verse 1
D
I stopped into a roadside bar
D
When I saw a pretty lady
Bm
Em
A
floating softly across the floor
D
I bravely strode up to her,
G
Gsus2
G
but before I even tried
D
A man tapped on my shoulder,
A
D
said, I see you've met my bride
I stuttered an apology
G
but he said not to fret
D
So I bought it round and so did he
Bm
G
A
and soon our tongues were wet
D
I said I was bound for Lexington
G
D
and I asked about his past
He turned to face me squarely
A
D
and set down his empty glass
He said he'd just come from Lexington
D
And he'd meant to soon return again
Bm
E
A
but now he'd changed his mind
D
For he had met his true love here
G
And he married her this day
D
He wished me luck in Lexington
A
D
A
And I was on my way
G
I signed for Lexington,
And I found a seat,
Bm
A
and I sat next to a girl with lonely eyes
D
We spoke until the barman
Gsus2
G
nearly swept us from the bar
D
And I knew I was in love with her
A
G
D
by the brightness of the stars
So I asked if she would be my girl
D
She said she loved a traveling man
E
A
Who'd sworn he'd come home soon
D
She faithfully described him
G
And my heart it almost tore
D
Cause I knew he was that groom
I'd met down south a month before
And I asked myself, oh should I speak?
D
Then she will hope forever here
E
A
And I'll never hope again
D
But I could not break that
young girl's heart
G
So I left her there to pray
Gm
D
And now two lonely people
A
Wander Lexington today you
