G D

So long ago I don't remember when

F#m Bm

That's when they say I lost my only friend

They said she died easy of a broken heart disease

As I listened through the cemetary trees

I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn

I've long broken all of human law

It always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

I wondered why she hung around this place

G F#m

Hey hey hey...

	cborus:
	G-D-Em-A

Come on try a little

Nothing is forever

Em A

There's got to be something better than in the middle

Me and Cinderella

Put it all together

Em A

We can drive it home ... with one headlight.

	verse

She said its cold it feels like independence day

And I can't break away from this parade

But theres got to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge

Saying all is good and nothing less its dead

Runnin' till she's out of breath

She ran until there's nothing left

She hit the end its just her window ledge

G F#m

Hey hey hey...

	cborus

This place is old feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn

With smells of cheap ol' wine and cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

So alone I feel just like somebody else

Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same

But somewhere here in between

These city walls and dyin' dreams

I think her death it must be killing me

G F#m

Hey hey hey...

>From the album Bringing Down the Horse

I don^Òt own this CD (yet) so I^Òm trying to work this out

from the radio. I^Òm not sure about the Em chords at the

ends of the verses and the end of the chorus and I don^Òt have

the exact words in front of me, but I think the rest is

pretty close.

Verse:

G D

So long ago, I don^Òt remember when

A Em

That^Òs when they say I lost my only friend

G D

They said she died easy of a broken heart disease

A Em

As I listen through the cemetery trees

*Use the above chord pattern for each of the verses*

I see the sun comin^Ò up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

So I wonder how she hung around this place

Chorus:

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There^Òs got to be something better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

Verse:

She said it^Òs cold

It feels like Independence Day

And I can^Òt break away from this parade

But there^Òs got to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I see the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin^Ò all there^Òs good and nothingness is dead

We^Òll run until she^Òs out of breath

She ran until there^Òs nothin^Ò left

She hit the end- it^Òs just her window ledge

Chorus:

Verse:

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine, but the engine doesn^Òt turn

Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I^Òd like to watch it burn

I^Òm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Man, I ain^Òt changed, but I know I ain^Òt the same

Subject: TAB - One Headlight Wallflowers

I posted a simple CRD version of this & I've since had several

requests for TAB. I have a poor tape version of this song, so the TAB

won't be accurate in some spots. In addition, the lyrics are pure

guesses in a few spots. It's a good song to do some simple original

lead work, especially with bottleneck, so just use this as a starting

point. Altho' I'm a guitar player, what really makes the song for me

is the organ part - a copy of some old Garth Hudson work with the

Band.

ONE HEADLIGHT

by The Wallflowers/Jakob Dylan

from the album *Bringing down the horse*

transcribed by: Shannon Castell

Midori@clear.net.nz

This song rocks. I can sit and listen to it all day so I guess

that's how I figured out the chords and stuff so easily. It does

have some rhythms and stuff that I can't write down here so if

you really want to perfect it listen to the CD. If Jakob Dylan

or any of the other band members ever stumble across this page

on the internet, Thanks for writing and playing such an awesome

song.

G D

So long ago, I don't remember when

F#m Bm

That's when they say I lost my only friend

G D

Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

F#m Bm

As I listened through the cemetary trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

So I wondered how she hung around this place

E--7-10- X6 -7-9- X8 -7-10----

Chorus:

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

Em A

There's got to be something better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

Em A

We can drive it home

G D Em A

With one headlight

She said it's cold

It feels like independence day

And I can't break away from this parade

But there's got to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I seen the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead

We'll run until she's out of breath

She ran until there's nothin' left

She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

Well this place is old

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn

Well it smells of cheap wine and ciggerettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Man, I aint changed but I know I aint the same

But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams

I think her death it must be killing me
