E                   F#m 
It?s bringing me down, I'm running aground, 
D              A                      E 
Blind in the light of the interstate cars 
E            F#m 
Passing me by, the busses and semi's, 
D               A                         E 
Plunging like stones from a slingshot on mars

A                         D 
But I'm here by the road, bound to the load 
Bm                                          E 
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars 
A                                      D 
Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up 
Bm                                          E 
The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars 
 
 
D                  C#m          A 
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in 
                               Em              C   A 
With its words of a life where nothing is new 
D            C#m          Em         A 
Ah, mother american night, I'm lost from the light 
G   D                A 
Oh, I'm drowning in you 
 
I left St. Louis, city of blues, in the midst of a storm I'd rather forget

I tried to pretend it came to an end 
Cause you weren't the woman I once thought I'd met 
But I can't deny, that times have gone by Bm 
Where I never had doubts or thoughts of regret 
And I was a man when all this began 
Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet 
 
Black throated wind, whispering sin 
And it speaks of a life that passes like dew 
It's forced me to see that you've done better by me 
Better by me than I've done by you 
 
Now what's to be found racing around. 
You carry your pain wherever you go 
All full of the blues and trying to lose 
You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know 
So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies 
Please help them to learn as well as to see 
Capture a glance, and make it dance 
Of looking at you, looking at me 
 
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in 
With its words of a lie that could almost be true 
Ah, mother american night, here comes the light 
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do 
Going back home that's what I'm gonna do
