Gbm
somewhere in the middle of the deep south
Db7
magnolias sway in the breeze
Gbm
to the lonesome sound of A redbone hound
Db7
howlin’ at the moon in the trees
Gbm Cbm
there’s A sad boy with his guitar
Gbm
cuttin’ his teeth on the blues
Gbm
wishin’ on A fallin’ star
Db7 Gbm
at 127 rose avenue
verse 2
Gbm
distant moan of A midnight train comes
Db7
blowin’ through the night
Gbm
he dips his pen in tears and pain
Db7
and he begins to write
Gbm
’bout A whippoorwill too blue to fly
Cbm Gbm
and the indian he once knew
Gbm
’bout lost highways and purple skies
Db7 Gbm

chorus :
Cbm Db7
caretaker said as he shook his head
Cbm Db7
son . do you believe in ghosts
Cbm
for A five dollar bill you can feel the chill
Db7
he felt long ago
verse 3
Gbm
so i bought me A ticket at the front door
Db7
guess who was there inside
Gbm
i felt his presence through the whole tour
Db7

Gbm
i saw the train . i felt the pain
Db7
i heard him moanin’ the blues
Gbm
29 years of memories
