Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]The air is getting hot[D]ter
[C]There's a rum[G]bling in the ski[D]es[G]
[C]I've been wading through the
[G]high muddy [D]water
[C]With the heat ris[G]ing in [D]my eye[G]s
[C#dim]Every day your memory grows dimmer[C]
[Am]It doesn't haunt me like it di[G]d before
[C]I've been walking through the
middle [D]of nowhere
Try[C]ing to get to [G]heaven [D]before
[G]they close the door

[Verse 2]
[C]
When I was in Mis[D]souri
[C]They would not[G] let me [D]be[G]
[C]I had to leave the[G]re in a hur[D]ry
[C]I only saw wha[G]t the[D]y let me [G]see
[C#dim]You broke a heart that loved you[C]
Now you can [Am]seal up the book
and [C]not [G]write anymore
[C]I've been walking that
lone[G]some [D]valley
Try[C]ing to get [G]to heaven [D]before
[G]they close the door

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]People on the [D]platforms[C]
Wait[G]ing [D]for the trains
[G]I c[C]an hear their hearts a- bea[D]ting
[C]Like pendulum[G]s swi[D]nging on chains
[G]I t[C#dim]ried to give you everything[C]
[Am]That your heart was [C]long[G]ing for
[C]I'm just going down
[G]the road feeling [D]bad
[C]Trying to get to [G]heaven [D]before the[G]y close the door

[Verse 4]
[C]I'm going dow[G]n the[D] river[C]
Down [G]to New [D]Or [G]leans
[C]They tell me everything is gonna be [G]all rig[D]ht
[C]But I don't know what "al[G]l
right" [D]even [G]means
[C#dim]I was riding in a buggy
with Miss Mary- [C]Jane
