MILLY'S CAFE Fred J. Eaglesmith (Key of E, played from open C position with capo at the 4th fret) C C G They put up the sign for the very last time at Milly's Café. G C They loaded the stuff into the car and they drove away. C C7 F Milly looked back one last time and when she turned around, she was crying. C G C Billy just listened to the songs the radio played. They drove all the way from Fort Worth to Amarillo. When Milly woke up, she had make-up all over her pillow. Billy had stopped at the Easy Pump and bought them up a couple of guns Tomorrow he said was going to be a brand new day. Milly and Billy tore up the entire West. They started holding up liquor stores and then they turned to banks. And it wasn't very long at all, their picture was up on the Post Office wall, And it seemed like the whole world was looking for them. Chorus: F C And the roads just get rougher, out in West Texas. G C - C7 The cowboys are tougher and the young girls are restless. F C And the winds take the towns, and there ain't any signs, G C - C7 But there's always a hill to climb on the West Texas skyline. Milly was raised a Christian in Abilene. Her father was a preacher in the biggest church you ever did see. When word came down about Milly and Billy, he made a call up to New York City Sent for some boys to come down and set things straight. He met Milly in El Paso. Underneath a tree in the parking lot of a motel. And the next day when Billy went in the bank, she started the car and she drove away When Billy came out, he never had a chance. Chorus Instrumental verse They put up the sign one more time at Milly's Café. They loaded the stuff out of the car and into the doorway. Milly looked back one last time, when she turned around she was crying Her daddy just got in his car and he drove away. Chorus, repeat last line, C-G-C
