[Intro]
E A   B  A  E D E


[Verse 1]
E
Hopped a train
 out
of El Paso
Tried to follow
 but
    A
she stole my
 keys
Knew I loved
to chase
   B
tornadoes
A
The first
time that I
watched her
E    D A
leave

[Verse 2]
E
She leaves her
 boots
out by the
front door
To let me know
 she
        A
needs a change
of scene
Sprays her perfume
      B
on my pillow
A
When she can’t
 keep
        E
me company


[Chorus]
D
If she stays or
A
flies away to
E
Heaven only knows
D
She can take
   A
my heart
and keep her
E
wings
Bm
I don’t say
    A
goodbye
when it
      E
comes time to
 let her go
     G
I’ll catch you
down the
D
road sweet
      E
tumbleweed


[Verse 3]
She sent a
postcard
       E      A E
from Durango
A coffee cup from
 Graceland,
A         D A
Tennessee
She spent a
            B
summer in Havana
A
And came back
                E
dancin differently


[Chorus]
D
If she stays or
A
flies away to
E
Heaven only knows
D
She can take my
A
heart and
         E
keep her wings
Bm
I don’t say
    A
goodbye
when it comes
E
time to let
her go
     G
I’ll catch you
down the
D
road sweet
      E
tumbleweed

[Out-Chorus]
If she stays or
 flies
away to Heaven
only knows
She can take my
heart and keep
her wings
I don’t say
goodbye
 when it comes
time
 to let her go
I’ll catch you
down
the road sweet
tumbleweed
I’ll catch you
 down
 the road sweet
