Don`t Waste Away - James McMurtry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From Candyland

Transcribed by John Kean.

Capo 2nd fret (or just over strings 1-5).


INTRO:
D/F G A11 (x4)


VERSE 1:
D/F G A11
Is that smile for me
D/F G A11
Or did you come by it honestly
D/F G A11
Can I show you around
D/F G A11
Can I help you tear your fences down
G D/F
Cos` I know you foster few illusions
A11 D/F
You suffer no fools
G D/F A11
And you don`t leave much to chance
G D/F
But you`re out past the breakers
A11 D/F
And you`re drifting fast
G A11
I can see it at a glance


CHORUS:
G D A11 D
You`ve been a long time locked inside
G D A11 D
A long time on a lonely ride
G D A11 D
Prisoner of wisdom, prisoner of pride
G D/F A11
Don`t just waste away
G D/F A11
Don`t just waste away


BRIDGE (as for intro)


VERSE 2:
Is that smile for me
Have you kept it hidden consciously
Like an old-time movie queen
Always noticed, rarely seen
I`ve got no answers
No magic cures
And I`ve got no plans
But I know the darkness
That haunts your eyes
And I know those trembling hands


CHORUS


SOLO:
D/F G A11
