Playing the last line in the verses with an Autoharp is quite a challenge!

lyrics

Crashing On Through - Dan Frechette © 1991

(Am) Looking outside at the (Em) rain
(G) putting on it's (D) show
(Am) everybody's talking (Em) about
(G) the barmaids (D) clothes
(Am) The man who's in charge of the (Em) bar
is (C.) waiting for the man at (G) large
to come (Am) crashing on (Em) through
and look (G) yonder (C.) out the (D) win(C.)dow (Am)

(Am) He's searching the ground for a (Em) trail
and which (G) way he's gonna (D) go
when he (Am) hears the wind start to (G) shout
he's gonna (Em) be on his way (Am) home
(Am) There is a moon in (Em) sight tonight
and a (C.) gunshot in the (G) dim light
will send him (Am) crashing on (Em) through
and lay (G) dead out(C.)side the (D) win(C.)dow (Am)

(Am) He's escaping across the (Em) terrain
the (G) wind is starting to (D) blow
(Am) everybody's thinking (G) about
(Em) something un(Am) known
(Am) someone's peering into the (Em) dark
into his (C.) mind and his eyes and his (G) heart
saying, (Am) "stay where you (Em) are or I'll (G) make your (C.) wife a (D) wid(C.)ow" (Am)

He (Am) didn't want to take the (Em) pain
of (C.) living in a (G) shadow
he (Am) had too many doubts (G) about
(Em) four walls of (Am) stone
he (Am) thought what he did was (Em) right
but a (C.) loud shot deep in the (G) night
sent him (Am) crashing on (Em) through and lay
(G) dying (C.) near the (D) wind(C.)ow (Am)
