This great song was written by Adam Mitchel and performed by Merle Haggard, Waylon
Jennings and countless bluegrass bands. I don't know if I have it in the same key
because I chorded the song from a bluegrass version that I have.
OUT AMONG THE STARS
It's (A) midnight at a liquor store in (D) Texas, Be-(A) neath the neon, close up's
just be-(E7) gun.
When a (A) boy walks in the door and points a (D) pistol (Bm), He can't (A) find a
job, (E7 though, he's found a (A) gun.
Well he (A) pulls it off, no trace of confron-(D) ation, He (A) let's the old man
run out in the (E) (E7) street.
But he (A) knows that soon they'll come with guns a (D) blazing, (Bm) And al-(A)
ready, he can (E) feel that great (A) relief.
