 [Intro]  

G



[Verse]

                                            C                G

About three miles from border town, the California-Nevada line

      G                                     F

The morning sun does rise and fall, and the midnight wind it does whistle and wind

       G                                     C                       G

Like a dust cloud from the flatland with the force of the mountain behind

         C              G                       F                   G

Stood in front of me, a vision to see, with her thumb aimed to the sky

        G                                         C            G

Yes she jumped inside and spoke her name, Cecelia Dee from Abilene

  G                                           F

I caught her eye, as I was hypnotized, like a fire fed with kerosene

G                                          C                                       G

Just one look, that was all it took, I was trying to put up a good fight but I was hooked

C                     G                               F              G

“Down the road a way” she said to me, â€œand then we'll see how far we go”



[Chorus]

G                            C                      G

Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway

G                           D                    G

Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of

G                          C                  G

Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way

C                   G              F             G

Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her



[Verse]

G                                         C                 G

There began the night of my life with the cheap cocaine and neon lights

G                                            F

My vision, my lungs, and reality blurred, no heaven or hell, no wrong or right

G                              C                          G

Stuck my face to her hands and kissed me like none ever before

     C                 G                     F                        G

Said do what you want, do what you will, but don't you dare leave me tonight



[Chorus]

G                            C                      G

Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway

G                           D                    G

Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of

G                          C                  G

Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way

C                   G              F             G

Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her



[Verse]

G                                                       C                               G

Now it's three days later the time doesn't matter, just tell me where's my watch and my cash

G                                                     F

Forgive me please for how I might have behaved, for I can't seem to remember what happened last

G                                                C             G

She was like a dream, one heaven scheme, Cecelia Dee from Abilene

C                             G                          F

Last thing I remember she was smilin' like the devil and laughing like all hell

                   G

As she rode out of sight



[Chorus]

G                            C                      G

Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway

G                           D                    G

Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of

G                          C                  G

Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way

C                   G              F             G

Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her



[Outro]

F         G

woo ooooh ooooh

C                   G              F                 G

Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her
