Verse one 
D                                   
A hundred miles between us  
         Bm 
When the blue took back the sky. 
G              D 
Cities seeping out  
                A  
And now there's nowhere left to hide 
D 
Swallows cross the highway 
            Bm       
They're not going home this time 
G              D 
Flying like canaries 
         A 
From the bottom of a mine. 
 
Chorus 1. 
G            A                 D                G  
Headed for a stretch where the pavement doesn't bend 
                                     A  
Days'll look like they don't care to end. 
 
Verse 2. 
Out along the mountains 
If you look with one eye closed 
You can see the spirits 
Spin the dances of the ghosts 
Waiting for the rains to come 
And rinse the poisoned land 
I have heard the thunder 
And that's all that I could stand 
 
Chorus 2. 
G            A                 D                G 
Headed for s stretch where the pavement doesn't bend 
                                     A 
Days'll look like they don't care to end 
G              A             D  Bm  
Out there on a lonely desert corner 
G                              A 
Clues are swirling through the air 
G                 A  D  Bm  
When I get to Why Arizona 
G               A                D   
Maybe I'll know where to go from there 
 
Instrumental break 
 
Verse three 
Radio is spinning 
And it rolls and rolls and rolls 
Searching for a signal 
Coming in from heaven knows 
Shadows crawling closer 
With a dozen miles to go 
And it's left to Tuscon 
Or it's straight to Mexico 
 
Repeat chorus two 
 
When I get to Why Arizona 
Maybe I'll know where to go from there 
maybe I'll know where to go from there
