[Intro]
E A   B  A  E D E


[Verse 1]
E
Hopped a train
 out 
of El Paso
Tried to follow
 but 
    A
she stole my
 keys
Knew I loved 
to chase 
   B
tornadoes
A      
The first 
time that I 
watched her 
E    D A
leave

[Verse 2]
E
She leaves her
 boots 
out by the 
front door
To let me know
 she 
        A
needs a change
of scene
Sprays her perfume 
      B
on my pillow
A      
When she can’t
 keep 
        E
me company


[Chorus]
D     
If she stays or 
A  
flies away to 
E
Heaven only knows
D                
She can take 
   A 
my heart 
and keep her
E
wings
Bm    
I don’t say 
    A  
goodbye 
when it 
      E
comes time to
 let her go
     G    
I’ll catch you 
down the 
D          
road sweet 
      E
tumbleweed


[Verse 3]
She sent a 
postcard 
       E      A E
from Durango
A coffee cup from
 Graceland, 
A         D A
Tennessee
She spent a 
            B
summer in Havana
A             
And came back 
                E
dancin differently


[Chorus]
D        
If she stays or 
A  
flies away to 
E
Heaven only knows
D      
She can take my 
A  
heart and 
         E
keep her wings
Bm        
I don’t say 
    A 
goodbye 
when it comes 
E
time to let 
her go
     G    
I’ll catch you 
down the 
D          
road sweet 
      E
tumbleweed


[Bridge]
D   A   E
 Oooooooooo
D   A   E
Oooooooooo
Bm   A   E
Oooooooooo
G   D   E
Oooooooooo

[Out-Chorus]
If she stays or
 flies 
away to Heaven 
only knows
She can take my 
heart and keep 
her wings
I don’t say 
goodbye
 when it comes 
time
 to let her go
I’ll catch you 
down 
the road sweet 
tumbleweed
I’ll catch you
 down
 the road sweet
 tumbleweed
