"Thinking About Leaving"
Performed by Dwight Yoakam
Written by Rodney Crowell and Dwight Yoakam
CD: LAST CHANCE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
Copyright 1999 Sony/ATV Tunes LLC ASCAP/Coal Dust West Music
administered by Warner-Tamberlane Publishing Corp. BMI

This is a note-for-note transcription of Dwight's beautiful new song from his
latest album.  It is a fairly straight forward three chord song recorded in a 
dropped D tuning (D,A,D,G,B,E).  The guitar solo (included) is in the D major 
scale and there are two main riffs which alternate throughout the song. Feel 
free to substitute an A7 chord in many of the places where an A occurs.

    D                         A                         D   (RIFF #1)
I used to think love was the soft rope meant to tie me down 
     D                                 A                 D  (RIFF #2)
And all that could ever own me was a guitar and another town
 G                                             D
Ten years can disappear real fast - When every morning just leaves somewhere
       G                       D                      A(7)
else behind - But I've been thinking about leaving - Long enough to change 
     D  (RIFF # 2)
my mind

  D                            A                        D  (RIFF #1)
Lying here beside you - I can feel it start to pull me away
                  D                          A(7)                   D         
The thought I'll have again tomorrow - That just came back from yesterday
     G                                          D               G
But your embrace makes any reason - For those memories hard to find
             D                      A(7)                     D (RIFF #1)
I've been thinking about leaving - Long enough to change my mind

    G                                          D
Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights - Sometimes I miss the crowds
    G                             D                A         
Sometimes I miss the woman - I wrapped each song around
    G                                       D                G
Sometimes I miss that world out there - So empty, hard and unkind
                 D                      A(7)                     D (RIFF #2)
But I've been thinking about leaving - long enough to change my mind
