INTRO
G D/F# | A | A G | D | % |
[G] The air is getting hotter,[A] [G] there's a rumbling in the [D]skies
[G]I've been wading through the high muddy [A]water
[G] With the heat rising in my [D]eyes
[G#m7-5] Every day your memory grows dim[G]mer
[Em] It doesn't haunt me like it [D]did before
[G] I've been walking through the middle of [A]nowhere
[G]Trying to get to heaven before they [D]close the door
[G] When I was in Mis[A]souri [G] they would not [D]let me be
[G] I had to leave there in a [A]hurry
[G] I only saw what they [D]let me see
[G#m7-5] You broke a heart that [G]loved you
Now you can [Em]seal up the book and not [D]write anymore
[G] I've been walking that lonesome [A]valley
[G]Trying to get to heaven before they [D]close the door
[G] People on the [A]platforms [G] waiting for the [D]trains
[G]I can hear their hearts a-[A]beatin'
Like [G]pendulums swinging on [D]chains
When you [G#m7-5]think that you lost [G]everything
You [Em]find out you can always lose a [D]little more
[G] I'm just going down the road [A]feeling bad
[G]Trying to get to heaven before they [D]close the door

[G] I'm going down the [A]river,[D] down to New Or[D]leans
[G]They tell me everything is gonna be[A] all right
[G]But I don't know what "all right" [D]even means
[G#m7-5]I was riding in a buggy with Miss Ma[G]ry-Jane
[Em]Miss Mary-Jane got a house in [D]Baltimore
[G]I been all around the world,[A] boys
[G]Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they [D]close the door
[G] Gonna sleep down in the [A]parlor [G] and relive my [D]dreams
[G] I'll close my eyes and I [A]wonder
If [G]everything is as hollow [D]as it seems
[G#m7-5] Some trains don't pull no [G]gamblers
No [Em]midnight ramblers, like they [D]did before
[G] I been to Sugar Town, I [A]shook the sugar down
Now I'm [G]trying to get to heaven before they [D]close the door
