Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
If I could go down now
ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]B5/C#[/ch
While the whole town is sleeping
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
See the sun creeping up
ch]G#7[/ch] [ch]B5/C#[/ch
On the hill yeah
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
I know the river and the railroad
ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]B5/C#[/ch] [ch]Bmaj9[/ch] [ch]G#m11[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch
Would run through the valley still
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
I guess it never was much to look at
ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch
Just a one-horse town
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
The kind of place young people
ch]G#7[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch
Want to leave today
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
Store fronts pretty much boarded up
ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch] [ch]Bmaj9[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]D/E[/ch
Main Street pretty much closed down
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m7[/ch] [ch]F#m7[/ch
Oh the church bell still rings on Sunday
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]E/F#[/ch
Old folks still go
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The young ones listen on the radio
ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m7[/ch
Saturday night
ch]G#m7[/ch
Nothing but a stray dog
ch]Gmaj7[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch
Running wild like no - body's child
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch
And little by little, light after light, that's how it died
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch] [ch]G#7[/ch] [ch]B/C#[/ch
They say you never go home again, that's no lie
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m7[/ch
It's like a letter in the mail to a brother in jail
ch]G#7[/ch
It's a matter of time
ch]B/C#[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m9[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]B5/C#[/ch
Until you can do a little bit better time
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m7[/ch] [ch]F#/A#[/ch] [ch]D#m9[/ch] [ch]B5/C#[/ch] [ch]C5/D[/ch
Does me good to believe sometimes
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
It used to be part of the heartland
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
Awful proud and strong
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
But deep, deep down
ch]A13[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]C5/D[/ch
Peaceful and serene
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
When people used to talk about the country
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch] [ch]Cmaj9[/ch] [ch]Am11[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
That's what they used to mean
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
I might go down come the weekend
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
Go on my own
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
Drop off Annie and the baby
ch]A13[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]C5/D[/ch
Maybe drive alone
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
Pay my last respects to a time
ch]C/D[/ch] [ch]G6[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Cm7[/ch
That has all but gone
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]Eb/F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]Gm7[/ch
We said, Mama come look at the mountain
ch]Cm7[/ch] [ch]F/G[/ch
The fire in the sky
ch]Cm7[/ch] [ch]Bb/D[/ch] [ch]Eb[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch
It's lit up like the Fourth of July
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]Dm7[/ch
The mill burning down
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Abmaj7[/ch
The jobs leaving town
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Cm7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
The trains rolling by
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
And little by little, light after light, that's how it died
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
They say you never go home again, now that's no lie
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
It's like a letter in the mail to a brother in jail
ch]A7[/ch] [ch]C/D[/ch
It's a matter of time
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]D/E[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]C5/D[/ch
Until you can do a little bit better time no no no
