Shelter in the Light

Entertainer

SHELTER IN THE LIGHT

C C/E
Sometimes I wish I was six months on the road

F G C.......F...G...C.....G....
In a motel room in Mobile

C C7 F Dm
Curtain drawn and the TV on and a suitcase on the bed

F Bb F C.........F....G
I would never tell exactly how I feel

C C/E
Out along that midnight highway you are always somewhere bound

F G C..........G
And always coming from somewhere you been

C C7 F Dm
And if you end up nowhere, still the time goes by

F Bb F G
And your guitar is your constant lonely friend

F G Am...........Am..G
If I could forget you I would

F G Am..........Am...G
Leave your face behind me for good

F G/F Am/F Dm/F
Lay my heart of hearts in front of strangers every night

...C...F G C

Stand there seeking shelter in the light

Instr. Tag: Bb.........F.........C.......... (2X)

Sometimes I wish I had never been in love
Or that you’d not been the one
Sometimes I wish I’d never been born
But there’s no crying over what’s already done

Sometimes I wish I could want what you want
Little picket fence beside the road
And sometimes I wish horses could fly
And my guitar strings would all turn to gold

Chorus
