Cbm
somewhere in the middle of the deep south
Gb7
magnolias sway in the breeze
Cbm
to the lonesome sound of A redbone hound
Gb7
howlin’ at the moon in the trees
Cbm Fbm
there’s A sad boy with his guitar
Cbm
cuttin’ his teeth on the blues
Cbm
wishin’ on A fallin’ star
Gb7 Cbm
at 127 rose avenue
verse 2
Cbm
distant moan of A midnight train comes
Gb7
blowin’ through the night
Cbm
he dips his pen in tears and pain
Gb7
and he begins to write
Cbm
’bout A whippoorwill too blue to fly
Fbm Cbm
and the indian he once knew
Cbm
’bout lost highways and purple skies

Fbm Gb7
caretaker said as he shook his head
Fbm Gb7
son . do you believe in ghosts
Fbm
for A five dollar bill you can feel the chill
Gb7
he felt long ago
verse 3
Cbm
so i bought me A ticket at the front door
Gb7
guess who was there inside
Cbm
i felt his presence through the whole tour
Gb7

Cbm
i saw the train . i felt the pain
Gb7
i heard him moanin’ the blues
Cbm
29 years of memories
