        D                                              G   G   G   G
They’ve traded their guns for a guitar and two bags of weed
G                                                          Am  Am7  Am  Am7
And they’ll swear in a slow Texas drawl all the killin’ is done
    D                                                G   G   G

And he spends all his miles on the dials of a poppin’ C-B
         D                                       G   G   G
Say does anyone know what became of old Ralph Emery


[Chorus]
G           Am7
Tomorrow is out of sight

Ah but yesterday’s news is old news – the skies are all gray
