            G C 2x
             G                       C
Well they're still racing out at the trestles
         G                              C
But that blood it never burned in their veins
      G                            C
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
      G                         C
And a style she's trying to maintain
G           C        G       Em
Well if she wants to see me
        G             C          G     Em
You can tell her that I'm easily found
G                  C                G       Em
Tell her there's a spot out beneath Abram's Bridge
             D                         Dm7     C
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
D                         C  G    C
There's a darkness on the edge of town
    G                 C
Now everybody's got a secret Sonny
     G                              C
Just something that they just can't face
                G                                 C
Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
              G                              C
They carry it with them every step that they take
     G      C                 G      Em
Till someday they just cut it loose
       G               C        G    Em
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
             G        C                      G            Em
Where no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face
D                      Dm7     C
In the darkness on the edge of town
D                      C  G    C
In the darkness on the edge of town
G   C   G   Em   G   C   G   Am
G   C   G   Em   D   Dm7 C   D   C  G  C
    G                          C
Now some folks are born into a good life
            G                C
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
           G                   C
Well me, I lost my money and I lost my wife
                  G                         C
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
             G          C           G       Em
Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
     G          C         G            Em
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
G            C                     G         Em
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
     G           C             G       Em
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
    G       C               G       C
For wanting things that can only be found
D                      Dm7     C
In the darkness on the edge of town
D                      C  G    C
In the darkness on the edge of town
G   C   G   Em   G   C   G   Am
G   C   G   Em   D   Dm7 C   D   C  G  C
G  C   G  C   G  C
