1. Now they’re still racing out at
the trestles,
G C
but
that blood it never burned in her veins.
G C

and a
style she’s trying to maintain.
G Am
G - Em
Well, if she wants to see me,
G Am G

beneath Abram’s Bridge,

there’s
a darkness on the e........dge of town.

something
that they just can’t face,

some
folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it,

they
carry it with them every step that they take.

G - Em
Till some day they just cut it loose,
G Am G - Em
cut
it loose or let it drag ‘em down,
G Am

where
no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face,
D C
in
the darkness on the edge of town,
D C -
G C
in
the darkness on the e.......dge of town.

3. Now some folks are born into a good life,
G C
yeah,
other folks get it anyway anyhow.
G C
Well, me, I lost my money and
I lost my wife,
G C
some things don’t seem to matter much to me
now.
G Am G Em
Tonight I’ll be on that hill, ‘cause I can’t stop,
G Am G
Em
I’ll be on that hill with
everything I got.
G Am G
Em
There are lives on the line
where dreams are found and lost,
G Am G Em
I’ll be there on time and I’ll
pay the cost,
G Am
G Em
for
wanting things that can only be found
D C
in
the darkness on the edge of town,
D C - G CX
in
the darkness on the e.......dge of town.
