Steep Grade Sharp Curves Cifras

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
                                            C                G
About three miles from border town, the California-Nevada line
      G                                     F
The morning sun does rise and fall, and the midnight wind it does whistle and wind
       G                                     C                       G
Like a dust cloud from the flatland with the force of the mountain behind
         C              G                       F                   G
Stood in front of me, a vision to see, with her thumb aimed to the sky
        G                                         C            G
Yes she jumped inside and spoke her name, Cecelia Dee from Abilene
  G                                           F
I caught her eye, as I was hypnotized, like a fire fed with kerosene
G                                          C                                       G
Just one look, that was all it took, I was trying to put up a good fight but I was hooked
C                     G                               F              G
“Down the road a way” she said to me, “and then we'll see how far we go”
 
[Chorus]
G                            C                      G
Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway
G                           D                    G
Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of
G                          C                  G
Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way
C                   G              F             G
Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her
 
[Verse]
G                                         C                 G
There began the night of my life with the cheap cocaine and neon lights
G                                            F
My vision, my lungs, and reality blurred, no heaven or hell, no wrong or right
G                              C                          G
Stuck my face to her hands and kissed me like none ever before
     C                 G                     F                        G
Said do what you want, do what you will, but don't you dare leave me tonight
 
[Chorus]
G                            C                      G
Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway
G                           D                    G
Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of
G                          C                  G
Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way
C                   G              F             G
Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her
 
[Verse]
G                                                       C                               G
Now it's three days later the time doesn't matter, just tell me where's my watch and my cash
G                                                     F
Forgive me please for how I might have behaved, for I can't seem to remember what happened last
G                                                C             G
She was like a dream, one heaven scheme, Cecelia Dee from Abilene
C                             G                          F
Last thing I remember she was smilin' like the devil and laughing like all hell
                   G
As she rode out of sight
 
[Chorus]
G                            C                      G
Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway
G                           D                    G
Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of
G                          C                  G
Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way
C                   G              F             G
Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her
 
[Outro]
F         G
woo ooooh ooooh
C                   G              F                 G
Wishin' now till my dying day that I had never believed her
