Dbm
somewhere in the middle of the deep south
Ab7
magnolias sway in the breeze
Dbm
to the lonesome sound of A redbone hound
Ab7
howlin’ at the moon in the trees
Dbm Gbm
there’s A sad boy with his guitar
Dbm
cuttin’ his teeth on the blues
Dbm
wishin’ on A fallin’ star
Ab7 Dbm
at 127 rose avenue
verse 2
Dbm
distant moan of A midnight train comes
Ab7
blowin’ through the night
Dbm
he dips his pen in tears and pain
Ab7
and he begins to write
Dbm
’bout A whippoorwill too blue to fly
Gbm Dbm
and the indian he once knew
Dbm
’bout lost highways and purple skies
Ab7 Dbm

chorus :
Gbm Ab7
caretaker said as he shook his head
Gbm Ab7
son . do you believe in ghosts
Gbm
for A five dollar bill you can feel the chill
Ab7
he felt long ago
verse 3
Dbm
so i bought me A ticket at the front door
Ab7
guess who was there inside
Dbm
i felt his presence through the whole tour
Ab7
god i swear . he was alive
Dbm
i saw the train . i felt the pain
Ab7
i heard him moanin’ the blues
Dbm
29 years of memories
