Eliza Gilkyson - Lights Of Santa Fe



INTRO: G   

                    C        G
Driving at night on Highway 25
C    G      C   G        D   Dsus4 D Dsus2
Blindfolded I'd know the way
   G        D           G            C
Up over the rise like a jewel in the mountains
          G         D     G
Shine the lights of Santa Fe


                      C            G
How many times have I come home to you
        C    G   C    G   D   Dsus4 D Dsus2
Just to have you turn me away
       G      D             G         C
You've been betrayed by the ones that threw you to 
    G            D           C
The whims of the white man's way


       Am                        Em
But you show no resentment and you show no resistance
       G                    C
To the ones who've done you wrong
                     G               B7         Em
Oh, they'll hang themselves on their own fool existence
C
After the laughter is gone


  G            C             G
Ohh, Santa Fe, city of faith
         C    G     C     G    D   Dsus4 D Dsus2
I did my time in an honourable way
 C             G               B7         Em
Now there is a candle for each dream that breaks
       C                   
In the Lights of Santa Fe


         G                     C          G
From the houses of mud, to the governor's palace
        C    G   C       G      D       Dsus4 D Dsus2
Spirits walk the streets in the daylight
    G               D      G            C
And some scream for blood, some bear no malice
        G        D           C
For the ones who stole their birthright


Am                     Em
Naive tourists standing shoulder to shoulder
     G                C
With wise and ancient souls
                     G            B7          Em
Oh, the old way gets lost and the tracks grow colder
       C
As the bell of St. Francis tolls


  G            C             G
Ohh, Santa Fe, city of faith
         C    G     C     G    D   Dsus4 D Dsus2
I did my time in an honourable way
 C             G               B7         Em
Now there is a candle for each dream that breaks
       C                   
In the Lights of Santa Fe
                G               B7         Em
Ohh, there is a candle for each dream that breaks
       C                   
In the Lights of Santa Fe
