Intro: GCG
Driving at night on Highway 25
CGCGDDsus4DDsus2
Blindfolded I'd know the way
GDGC
Up over the rise like a jewel in the mountains
GDG
Shine the lights of Santa Fe
CG
How many times have I come home to you
CGCGDDsus4DDsus2
Just to have you turn me away
GDGC
You've been betrayed by the ones that threw you to
GDC
The whims of the white man's way
AmEm
But you show no resentment and you show no resistance
GC
To the ones who've done you wrong
GB7Em
Oh, they'll hang themselves on their own fool existence
C
After the laughter is gone
GCG
Ohh, Santa Fe, city of faith
CGCGDDsus4DDsus2
I did my time in an honourable way
CGB7Em
Now there is a candle for each dream that breaks
C
In the Lights of Santa Fe
GCG
From the houses of mud, to the governor's palace
CGCGDDsus4DDsus2
Spirits walk the streets in the daylight
GDGC
And some scream for blood, some bear no malice
GDC
For the ones who stole their birthright
AmEm
Naive tourists standing shoulder to shoulder
GC
With wise and ancient souls
GB7Em
Oh, the old way gets lost and the tracks grow colder
C
As the bell of St. Francis tolls
GCG
Ohh, Santa Fe, city of faith
CGCGDDsus4DDsus2
I did my time in an honourable way
CGB7Em
Now there is a candle for each dream that breaks
C
In the Lights of Santa Fe
GB7Em
Ohh, there is a candle for each dream that breaks
C
In the Lights of Santa Fe
