13 Tabbed by Eyolf
Østrem
</p>
15 <p>The song is played in
<a href=
"../roadmaps.htm#opentunings">open A tuning
</a>: E-A-c#-e-a-c#' (tune down the fourth string a semitone and the three highest strings to the same tones as the three lowest; this is the tuning that was used for
<a href=
"../00_misc/wichita_blues.htm">Wichita Blues
</a>, with the exception of the highest string), and with a capo on the
3rd fret (sounding key C major).
</p>
16 <p>If you're not comfortable with open tunings, it is of course possible to play it in standard tuning, either with ordinary chord shapes, or with the chords suggested below, which come close to the sound of the open A version.

150 Down the street the dogs are barking
152 And the day is a-getting dark.
154 As the night comes in a-fallin'
156 The dogs, they'll lose their bark.
158 And the silent night will shatter
160 From the sounds inside my mind
162 And I'm one too many mornings
164 And a thousand miles behind.
167 From the crossroads of my doorstep,
168 My eyes start to fade.
169 And I turn my head back to the room
170 Where my love and I have laid.
171 And I gaze back to the street
172 the sidewalk and the sign.
173 And I'm one too many mornings
174 And a thousand miles behind.
176 It's a restless, hungry feeling
177 That don't mean no one no good.
178 When everything I'm saying,
179 You can say it just as good.
180 You are right from your side,
181 And I am right from mine.
182 We're both just one too many mornings
183 And a thousand miles behind.

247 The silent night will shatter
249 From the sounds inside my mind

253 And a thousand miles behind.
257 <p>Additional last half-verse (the first part of the verse instrumental):
</p>
259 I've no right to be here
260 If you've no right to stay
261 Until we're both one too many mornings
262 And a thousand miles away
265 <p>*) Play the Bm with the first string open, or as xx4030 - that will imitate
<em>some
</em> of the delightful clashes that only a full, desperate Rolling Thunder band can produce.
