Shadows on My Track

(Verse 1)  
[Guitar riff intro - a gritty, pulsating rhythm]
[E7 E7 E7 E7]
[A7 A7 E7 E7]
[B7 A7 E7 B7]
I woke up this morning, sun's shine a bitter light  
Coffee on my table, but it don't taste right  
Another day is dawning, but the shadows weigh me tight  

(Chorus)  
[Driving drumbeat]
[rhythmic guitar strokes]  
Yeah, I’m rolling down this old track  
Guitar slung 'cross my back  
Ain’t looking forward, ain’t heading back  
Since my baby took her love off of my rack  

(Verse 2)  
[Ragtime piano accompaniment] [steady bass line]  
Streets are filled with whispers, echoes on my tail  
She left her mark upon me, like a rusty nail  
I walk beneath the streetlights, but all I find’s a shadow pale  

(Chorus)  
[Full-band crescendo]
[strong guitar lead]  
Yeah, I’m rolling down this old track  
Guitar slung 'cross my back  
Ain’t looking forward, ain’t heading back  
Since my baby took her love off of my rack  


(Bridge)  
[Harmonica solo - soulful and bluesy]  
Played every juke joint, crowd roaring like a train  
But the spotlight’s empty, just like my refrain  
Nothing fills the silence, or kills this heart's pain  

(Verse 3)  
[Slow-tempo, melodic guitar solo]
Midnight’s creeping closer, its cloak’s a heavy grade  
I'm wading through the memories, each mistake I've made  
Looking for redemption in the chords I've played  

(Chorus)  
[Upbeat, lively return of the full band]
[guitar and drums]  
Yeah, I’m rolling down this old track  
Guitar slung 'cross my back  
Ain’t looking forward, ain’t heading back  
Since my baby took her love off of my rack  

(Outro)  
[Soulful guitar outro, slowly fading out]  
So if you hear my music, let it tell my tale  
A soul bound to the rhythm, riding every gale  
I'll keep on strumming chords until I find that holy grail
