  25 <p>Capo 4th fret (just for the sake of convenience...). This seems like a song in the vein of Simple twist of fate in open tuning, more or less the same beginning.</p>

  70 The light in this place is so bad
  71 Makin' me sick in the head
  72 All the laughter is just makin' me sad
  73 The stars have turned cherry red
  74    I'm strummin' on my gay guitar
  75    Smokin' a cheap cigar
  76 The ghost of our old love has not gone away
  77 Don't look it like it will anytime soon
  78 You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'
  79 Under the midnight moon.
  80
  81 Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't
  82 But not tonight and it won't be here
  83 There are things I could say, but I don't
  84 I know the mercy of God must be near
  85    I been ridin a midnight train
  86    Got ice water in my veins
  87 I would be crazy if I took you back
  88 It would go up against every rule
  89 You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'
  90 Sufferin' like a fool.
  91
  92 When the last rays of daylight go down
  93 Buddy you'll roll no more
  94 I can hear the church bells ringin' in the yard
  95 I wonder who they're ringin' for
  96    I know I can't win
  97    But my heart just won't give in
  98 Last night I danced with a stranger
  99 But she just reminded me you were the one
 100 You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'
 101 In the dark land of the sun.
 102
 103 I eat when I'm hungry drink when I'm dry
 104 And live my life on the square
 105 And even if the flesh falls off of my face
 106 I know someone will be there to care
 107    It always means so much
 108    Even the softest touch
 109 I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
 110 There's no words that need to be said
 111 You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'
 112 Blues wrapped around my head.</pre>

 115 <h3 class="songversion"><a name="Austin2003">Live version 2003</a></h3>
 116 <p>New arrangement during the 2003 southern US tour. The basic structure of the
 117 song is the same as the album version, but a new riff has snuck into the first
 118 part, with the chords in the descent coming
 119 <a href="../00_misc/on_a_rainy_afternoon.htm#twiceasslow">twice as fast</a> and
 120 with an extra turn at the end. In the version that has been available to me
 121 (Austin, 20 April 2003) it sounds as if the two different guitars are in two
 122 different capo positions: the main rhythm guitar at the 3rd fret and the other
 123 at the 1st fret. I have given suggestions for the main riff in those two
 124 positions. In the 3rd position there are two suggestions, one which is more or
 125 less what is played by the band, the other a version which is more suitable for
 126 a single guitar. In the 1st-fret version I have included the chords to the whole
 127 verse.</p>
 128 <p>The Am (Bm with capo 1st fret) could also be played F (G)</p>

 130 <p>Capo 3rd fret (sounding key Eb major)</p>
