intro
G D/F# | A | A G | D | % |

G A G D
the air is getting hotter , there’s a rumbling in the skies
G A
i’ve been wading through the high muddy water
G D
with the heat rising in my eyes
G#m7 – 5 G
every day your memory grows dimmer
Em D
it doesn’t haunt me like it did before
G A
i’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
G D
trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A G D
when i was in missouri they would not let me be
G A
i had to leave there in a hurry
G D
i only saw what they let me see
G#m7 – 5 G
you broke a heart that loved you
Em D
now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
G A
i’ve been walking that lonesome valley
G D
trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A G D
people on the platforms waiting for the trains
G A
i can hear their hearts A – beatin’
G D
like pendulums swinging on chains
G#m7 – 5 G
when you think that you lost everything
Em D
you find out you can always lose a little more
G A
i’m just going down the road feeling bad
G D
trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A D D
i’m going down the river , down to new orleans
G A
they tell me everything is gonna be all right
G D
but i don’t know what “all right” even means
G#m7 – 5 G
i was riding in a buggy with miss mary – jane
Em D
miss mary – jane got a house in baltimore
G A
i been all around the world , boys
G D
now i’m trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A G D
gonna sleep down in the parlor and relive my dreams
G A
i’ll close my eyes and i wonder
G D
if everything is as hollow as it seems
G#m7 – 5 G
some trains don’t pull no gamblers
Em D
no midnight ramblers , like they did before
G A
i been to sugar town , i shook the sugar down
G D
now i’m trying to get to heaven before they close the door
