Verse i

[G/f#]

Last night I had me a nightmare

[G/f#]

Dreamed that Texas was burning down...burning down

And all them people, I had grown up to love

 Leaving town

Chorus

  [G/f#]

I cried "oh Holy Moses, bring blood to the Red Red Sea

[G/f#]

Bring back Townes Van Zandt, and my heroes back to me

 Csus9 [G/f#]

Because I can play their songs, but it ain't they way they do

 It ain't they way they do."

I had a nightmare, a nightmare, it was a nightmare.

Verse ii

[G/f#]

Buddy Holly was riding on the wind

[G/f#]

Stevie Ray, well he was too

[G/f#]

When their star, come tumbling to the ground

 Wasn't a thing that all the king's horses

 And all the king's men could do

[G/f#]

Me I've just got my ol' bar stool

[G/f#]

And man it's burning me down...burning me down

[G/f#]

Just like a brush fire, that burns on through the night

 One of these days I'm just going

 These days I'm going to burn on out

Repeat Chorus

[G/f#] Csus9
