THE TOWN OF CLARKSON	Fred J. Eaglesmith

Intro: C (finger-picking)

C              Dm                     C
Night time was falling in the town of Clarkson
                    Dm                           C
The lights were all out and the dogs had stopped barking
            Dm           C
And you and me were all alone
                G                           C
When you leaned over and said you had to go home
Chorus:
Dm           G                 F              C - C
Surely there must be an easier way to say goodbye
Dm               G                 F                     C - C
Do we have to go on with all these stories and all these lies?
Dm           G                 C 
It's obvious you don't care anymore,
F                G                    C
So can't we just say that our time is over?

I switched off the car in front of your house
Tried to kiss you good-bye before you got out.
But you just looked and my eyes could tell
When you calmly told me you weren't feeling well.

(Chorus)

I can't help recalling all the good times
We talked and we laughed in the bright sunshine
But I guess those times can't be anymore
Close off the lights and lock up the door.

(Chorus) - Cmaj7 - Am - Am7 - F - G - C
