Fm
somewhere in the middle of the deep south
C7
magnolias sway in the breeze
Fm
to the lonesome sound of A redbone hound
C7
howlin’ at the moon in the trees
Fm A#m
there’s A sad boy with his guitar
Fm
cuttin’ his teeth on the blues
Fm
wishin’ on A fallin’ star
C7 Fm
at 127 rose avenue
verse 2
Fm
distant moan of A midnight train comes
C7
blowin’ through the night
Fm
he dips his pen in tears and pain
C7
and he begins to write
Fm
’bout A whippoorwill too blue to fly
A#m Fm
and the indian he once knew
Fm
’bout lost highways and purple skies
C7 Fm

chorus :
A#m C7
caretaker said as he shook his head
A#m C7
son . do you believe in ghosts
A#m
for A five dollar bill you can feel the chill
C7
he felt long ago
verse 3
Fm
so i bought me A ticket at the front door
C7

Fm
i felt his presence through the whole tour
C7

Fm

C7
i heard him moanin’ the blues
Fm
29 years of memories
