 E                                     A
 Lost my pickup in a cardgame in New Orleans
          B7                   E
 Lost my girl to a stranger in LA
                               A    
 Left my dreams in a motel in Atlanta
           B7                              E 
 And I've lost my mind somewhere along the way

 
           A                   E
 Can't you see I'm dying on my feet
     A                            B7 
 I'm walking to my grave two stoned to weep
           A                          E
 Them old memories that's tearin up my mind
          B7                       E        A   E   B7   E
 Are the dreams of a dreamer gone blind

 
 E                                               A
 And the bright lights have gone the way of the good times
            B7                           E
 That old yearning in my soul chills my brain
                                      A
 And the ashes of my youth have been scattered
          B7                             E
 by the laughter, lights & wine of yesterday

 
              A                   E
 So can't you see I'm dying on my feet
     A                           B7
 I'm walking to my grave two stoned to weep
           A                           E
 Them old memories that's tearin up my mind
         B7                       E
 Are the dreams of a dreamer gone blind
          A                            E
 Them old memories that's tearin up my mind
          B7                      E       A    E
 Are the dreams of a dreamer gone blind
