Someone was looking for some James McMurtry songs.
I transcribed this some time ago. Corrections welcome.

====================================================================
{t:Too Long In The Wasteland}
{st:James McMurtry}

[D]Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin` of the clocks
There`s a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox [G]
Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind [D]
[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland
I`ve [D]fallin` behind

[D]She said won`t you come see me, When the sun goes down
It`ll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around [G]
Well I don`t know, I might not speak the language any more [D]
[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland
I`ve [D]closed some doors


[D]People in the village, Watch the children play
At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away [G]
Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say [D]
[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland
What`s [D]made him that way


[D]I hadn`t intended, To bend the rules
Wiskey dont make liers, It just makes fools [G]
So I didn`t mean to say it, But I meant what I said [D]
[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland
Must have [D]gone to my head

{comment: Instrumental with some vocal sounds }

[D]Jet trails in the sunset, a long way away
cuttin` cross the horizon, At the edge of the day [G]
And it calls out to me, Come fly away, I`ve been [D]
[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland
I believe I`ll [D]have to stay

[Bb] Too long in the wasteland, [A] Too long in the wasteland
I`ll [D]have to stay

{comment: Final instrumental }

[D] There`s a ghost of a moon in the afternoon
Bullet holes in the mailbox [G]
Bullet holes in the mailbox [D]
