Waylon Jennings - Broken Promise Land

intro : G C G C

verse :
G D
there’s a bible on the dresser ,
C
and a sign hung on the door ,
D C G
and a woman in my arms that shouldn’t be .
G D
i’m to the point of no returning ,
C
but i’ve been here before .
D C G
this cheating life is nothing new to me .
G D
there’s someone to be considered ,
C
i call her on the phone ,
D C G
and say the job is taking longer than i planned
G D
i dont have the heart to tell her ,
C
that a stranger turned me on ,
D C G
and i’m heading for the broken promise land

refrao
G C
tonight i’m crossing over
D Em
and i’ll reach the cheating side
G D Am
and i’ll hate myself for coming here again .
G C
where the streets are paved with misery
D Em
and lives are built on lies ,
G D C
the place they call the broken promise land

verse :
G D
found the note left on the dresser ,
C
and the key left in the door ,
D C G
and on the floor i found her golden wedding band .
G D
guess she finally had to tell me ,
C
she’s not waiting here no more ,
D C G
and she heading for the broken promise land .

chorus :
G C
tonight she’s crossing over
D Em
and she’ll reach the cheating side
G D Am
and i’ll hate myself for giving her the chance .
G C
’cause the streets are paved with misery
D Em
and lives are built on lies .
G D C
the place they call the broken promise land .
G C
. . . and its more than i can stand .
