Abm
somewhere in the middle of the deep south
Eb7
magnolias sway in the breeze
Abm
to the lonesome sound of A redbone hound
Eb7
howlin’ at the moon in the trees
Abm Dbm
there’s A sad boy with his guitar
Abm
cuttin’ his teeth on the blues
Abm
wishin’ on A fallin’ star
Eb7 Abm
at 127 rose avenue
verse 2
Abm
distant moan of A midnight train comes
Eb7
blowin’ through the night
Abm
he dips his pen in tears and pain
Eb7
and he begins to write
Abm
’bout A whippoorwill too blue to fly
Dbm Abm
and the indian he once knew
Abm
’bout lost highways and purple skies
Eb7 Abm

chorus :
Dbm Eb7
caretaker said as he shook his head
Dbm Eb7
son . do you believe in ghosts
Dbm
for A five dollar bill you can feel the chill
Eb7
he felt long ago
verse 3
Abm
so i bought me A ticket at the front door
Eb7
guess who was there inside
Abm
i felt his presence through the whole tour
Eb7
god i swear . he was alive
Abm
i saw the train . i felt the pain
Eb7
i heard him moanin’ the blues
Abm
29 years of memories
