G      F        C                G       F     C
I cannot wait for dawn to break, I must be on my way
  G      F         C          Bb        C         G
Before I pass this way again, Be many a dark dark day
    G       F        C                G        F       
The sheriff does not know my face, he does not know my 
C
name
    G          F        C                 Bb        
But before the sun goes down again, he’ll know them 
C        G
just the same

[Chorus]
    F                   G        Bb       C       G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb         C                 Bb      C    G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again

[Break]
G    F    C       G    F    C
G    F    C       Bb   C    G

[Verse 2]
G                    F          C                    
Between a poor man's word and a rich man's gold, 
  G       F         C
who’s chances would you choose
    G         F    C                     Bb      C     
The judge and jury close their eyes, and justice don’t 
     G
come true
     G        F      C                       G        
I’ll run from what I haven’t done, cause the long arm 
F      C
of the law
    G            F             C                Bb   
Has got a silver spade that’ll dig my grave, in Fort 
C          G
Smith Arkansas

[Chorus]
    C    F        Bb    G        Bb       C       G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb         C                 Bb      C    G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again

[Solo]
G    F    C       G    F    C
G    F    C       Bb   C    G

[Verse 3]
G     F        C                G      F      C
Down along the railroad tracks, waitin in the weeds
    G             F            C                    Bb 
The first freight train to the leave the yard, will be 
    C       G
the one for me
     G      F            C                       G    
I’ll find a place on the box car roof, where the wind 
     F        C
cuts cold and deep
G       F       C                Bb       C     G
I don’t need no railroad man, to catch me in my sleep

[Chorus]
    C    F        Bb    G        Bb       C       G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb         C                 Bb      C    G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again
   Bb      C    G         Bb    C     G
To be with you again
