VERSE 1:
G G F#m B
Come on slowly, won't you rise and come
Em A7 D A C
To the top of this hill, where the cool breeze spills
G G F#m B
Now that it's dusk, someone drives them off the street
Em A7 D A C
Let the pavements cool, come on now
G G F#m B
So come on love, and lay your body down, next to mine
Em A7 D A C
'Cause what we're longing for, has withered in the light

At some honky-tonk, they call the Wagon Wheel
