Rollin` By by Robert Earl Keen
From: Moondog 96

This song uses a capo on 3rd fret and all chords are written as if 3rd
fret was open.

The opening uses a variation(i.e. -- these chords, but i don`t want to
write out the tab for it) of these chords(in this order): D C D C
D C G D

D C G D
It`s a busted old town on the plains of West Texas.

D C G D
The drugstore`s closed down, and the river runs dry.

D C G D
The semis roll through like stainless steel stallions

D C G
Goin` hard, goin` fast, goin` wild

D C G
Rollin` hard, rollin` fast, rollin` by.

(after this the song uses the same progression, even for the solos -- which
i won`t transcribe here either.)

And the mission still stands at the edge of the plateau.
A stone marks the graves where the old cowboys lie.
Asleep in a time, in a town just a youngster
Goin` hard, goin` fast, goin` wild
Rollin` hard, rollin` fast, rollin` by.

And the drive-in don`t play no Friday night pictures.
No big silver screen to light up the sky.
Gone are the days of post-war-time lovers
Goin` hard, goin` fast, goin` wild
Rollin` hard, rollin` fast, rollin` by.

And me -- I stand here at the last fillin` station
Where the wind moans a dirge to the coyote`s cry.
I jump in my car; I`m back out on the highway
Goin` hard, goin` fast, goin` wild
Rollin` hard, rollin` fast, rollin` by
Goin` hard, goin` fast, goin` wild
Rollin` hard, rollin` fast, rollin` by.
