Fbm
somewhere in the middle of the deep south
Cb7
magnolias sway in the breeze
Fbm
to the lonesome sound of A redbone hound
Cb7
howlin’ at the moon in the trees
Fbm Am
there’s A sad boy with his guitar
Fbm
cuttin’ his teeth on the blues
Fbm
wishin’ on A fallin’ star
Cb7 Fbm
at 127 rose avenue
verse 2
Fbm
distant moan of A midnight train comes
Cb7
blowin’ through the night
Fbm
he dips his pen in tears and pain
Cb7
and he begins to write
Fbm
’bout A whippoorwill too blue to fly
Am Fbm
and the indian he once knew
Fbm
’bout lost highways and purple skies
Cb7 Fbm
at 127 rose avenue
chorus :
Am Cb7
caretaker said as he shook his head
Am Cb7
son . do you believe in ghosts
Am
for A five dollar bill you can feel the chill
Cb7
he felt long ago
verse 3
Fbm
so i bought me A ticket at the front door
Cb7
guess who was there inside
Fbm
i felt his presence through the whole tour
Cb7
god i swear . he was alive
Fbm
i saw the train . i felt the pain
Cb7
i heard him moanin’ the blues
Fbm
29 years of memories
Am Cb7
