INTRO C Em D
G C
SHE WAS FOUND IN HER BEDROOM WITH A NOTE ON THE WALL
Em Bm G C
SAYING TAKE ME OR LEAVE ME; IT DON’T MATTER NOW AT ALL
G C
HER PASSING MADE THE PAPERS THOUGH THERE WEREN’T MUCH TO SAY
Em Bm G C
JUST A GIRL OF THE NIGHT TAKES HER LIFE AT MIDDAY
SHE WAS FOND OF THE LADIES AND GOOD TO THE MEN
AND SHE COULD TAKE YOU ABOUT ANYWHERE YOU’D NEVER BEEN
THOUGH I NEVER TOUCHED HER WE’D WALKED EVERYDAY
HEADING WEST DOWN SUNSET TALKING OUR LIVES AWAY
CHORUS
D C G
SAID SHE COULD WALK ON THE WATER-, BED SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS
D C G
TAKE YOU UP TO THE LIMIT, PUSH YOU OVER THE LINE
D C Em D
SAID IF YOU WANNA SEE GOD, BROTHER, CLOSE YOUR EYES
C Em D
THIS ONE’S FOR RHONDA’S LAST RIDE
THERE’S A TOWN IN NEVADA, JUST ACROSS THE STATE LINE
WHERE RHONDA GREW UP AHEAD OF HER TIME
WHY, IF I HAD TO SAY, IT’S HER DADDY TO BLAME
OLD DESERT RAT CODY SET HER CHILDHOOD TO FLAME
AND THERE WERE GI’S AND TRUCKERS AND GHOSTS OF THE ROAD
ON THEIR WAY UP TO VEGAS, THEY’D LIGHTEN THEIR LOAD
THERE WAS MANY A LOVER, BUT NARY COMPLAINED
AND IT WAS MANY A MAN WHO WOULD CALL OUT HER NAME
CHORUS
I’M NOT HERE TO TELL YOU SHE DIED OUT OF SHAME
IN HER LAST CHOSEN MOMENTS, HER LIPS CURSED NO NAME
NOT CODY, NOR JESUS, NOT A CRY OUT FOR LOVE
SHE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU THAT LEAVIN’S ENOUGH
CHORUS
