G 
Passin' through Tulsa
Bm 
at four in  the morning
Am 
D 
Crossin' the Arkansas one more time
G 
Moon on the river,
Bm 
it's lower than usual
Am 
Can't get much lower
D 
G 
than this gas gauge of mine
Em 
All the lights in Tulsa
Bm 
would not warm my heart now
Em 
D 
That is something only you would know
G 
I'm passin' through Tulsa
Bm 
at four in  the morning
Am 
D 
G 
But I really got nowhere to go
Bm 
Am 
D 
G 
Stoppin' for gas and
Bm 
a bottle of  iced tea
Am

I   asked a kid if he's new around here
G 
He's up from Dallas,
Bm 
he moved here in 80
Am 
D 
G 
I had a hell of a fu ture that year
Em 
Movin' and shakin',
Bm 
I was always in motion

My name in the papers,
D 
and mine in the known

Now I'm passin' through Tunnelside,
Bm 
four in  a row
Am 
D 
G 
But I really got nowhere to go
Em 
The sun's comin' up
Bm 
in my rearview mirror
Am 
G 
Now openin' a white, blue sky
Em 
Bm 
I hope the sun helps me
see things clearer now
Am 
D 
A mile after meaning, this mile rolls by
G 
Up in the visor
Bm 
Am 
I stash all my photographs
D 
All of them taken a long time ago
G 
You in the swimming pool,
Bm 
you on  your bicycle
Am 
D 
G 
You on the river at Cape Girardeau
Em 
Gone with the Arkansas
Bm 
swept by the current now
Em 
Where you and I only,
D 
you and God know me
G 
I'm passin' through Tulsa
Bm 
at 4 in  the morn'

But I really got nowhere to go

The sun's coming up
Bm 
in my rearview mirror now
Am

Opening a wide blue sky
Em

I hope the sun helps me
see things clearer now
Am 
D 
My  left arm aching as my rolls by
G 
Up in the visor

I stash all my photographs

All of them taken a long time ago

You in the swimming boot,
Bm 
you on  your bicycle

Gone with the Arkansas

Where you are now
