From: Adam Schneider
1000 MILES FROM NOWHERE (Dwight Yoakam)
---------------------------------------
[I personally like to play this in G; that way you can do easier bass runs
and stuff.]
[*, **, or *** means play one of the riffs at the bottom.]
[intro]
*
I m a thousand miles from nowhere
**
Time don t matter to me
Cause I m a thousand miles from nowhere
***
And there s no place I wanna be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don t matter to me
Cause I m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there s no place I wanna be
Oh I, oh I, oh I------I, I---I...
[guitar solo, same chords as verse]
Oh I...
I ve got bruises on my memories
I ve got tearstains on my hands
And in the mirror there s a vision
Of what used to be a man
I m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don t matter to me
Cause I m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there s no place I wanna be
I m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don t matter to me
Cause I m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there s no place I wanna be
[instrumental]
[instrumental; repeat these 9 measures and fade]
