Capo II

Intro:

G  D
Cadd9        G             D

G  D
Cadd9        G             D


               
     G                 D
I am wearing old boots with high cuban heels
    Cadd9                      G             D
Our souls they are worn and we stand here by grace
   G                D    
My trousers are torn and my jacket is borrowed
     Cadd9              G                  D     
I am wearing my time behind the eyes in my face



Chorus 1:
C                    G 
I am not looking for loose diamonds
   C                 G                    D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G                D                        C 
I don't want Four Roses or water, I am not looking for God
         D           G
I am not looking for sex

G  D
Cadd9        G             D

    G                          D
I've worn out my welcome in certain small circles
   Cadd9                      G        D
In Spanish bordellos and confederate states
G                          D 
But there is an angel in leathers and kindness
     Cadd9              G                  D
She whispers my name and she smiles at my fate

Chorus 1:
C                    G 
I am not looking for loose diamonds
   C                 G                    D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G                D                        C 
I don't want Four Roses or water, I am not looking for God
         D           G
I am not looking for sex

G  D
Cadd9        G             D

C   G    D

Bridge:
Em                         D 
All the true believers are out on the road tonite
   C                        G                 D   
No matter what happens, you know they'll be okay
           Em                            D
And to the rock and roll gypsies may the last song you sing
   C                                         D
Be by Townes Van Zandt when you’re down in old Santa Fe

    G                       D
Now I have a mission and a small code of honor
   Cadd9                G            D
To stand and deliver by whatever measures
G                                 D 
And the message I give you is from this old poet Rilke
     Cadd9               G                      D
He said "Our fears are like dragons guarding our most precious treasures”

Chorus 2:
C                    G 
I am not looking for loose diamonds
   C                 G                    D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G                D                        C 
I don't want Four Roses or water, I am not looking for God
         D           G
And I just wanna see what’s next.
