Purgatory Road chords by 
Tom Russell
N/A•
Verse 1
C
G
Asus4
G
I used
C
G
Asus4
G
to
C
get up in the morning,
G
serve six o 'clock mass
Asus4
The fear of the
Lord did abound
G
C
It was the smell of the incense,
G
the sacrament wine
Asus4
Old wo men in pews with
G
their heads bowed down
C
And a hungover priest in a
Bm
G
tattered black casket
Asus4
Reciting the
Latin so old
G
C
He said, son, you're gonna walk
G
on your knees one day
Asus4
D
Down the long miles of purgatory road
C
Well it might have been
G
Susan, it might have been
Annie
Asus4
G
She wore a white cotton blouse
C
And she memorized modern
G
youth and chastity
Asus4
Said it's a mortal sin if
G
we kiss on the mouth
C
If we died in a car wreck
G
on our way home
Asus4
We'd be damned with this sin on our soul
G
C
G
But we closed our eyes and sealed our fate
Asus4
In the wet grass of
Purgatory
D
Road
C
Somewhere between
sundown and midnight
G
We made our first wish on a star
C
That all of our sins would vanish behind
That
G
Chevrolet getaway car
D
Em
Somewhere between
heaven and heartache
Bm
C
Out where the buses don't roll
G
D
We lay down in the wild asparagus
Em
G
C
That grew along
D
Purgatory
G
C

Road
Asus4
G
C
G
Asus4
G
Well,
C
Susan, or
G
Annie, had a vision one night
Asus4
With the sign of the
G
cross she was gone
C
And the old wisdom priest,
G
he died of old age
Asus4
But the church rattled and clattered and
G
rolled a blop on
C
G
As we ran and we wrestled with the fear of
our
Lord
Asus4
But the guilt and desire
G
took their hold
C
From when the sins of the
G
flesh were a whisper away
Asus4
In the wet grass of
D
purgatory roamed
C
Somewhere between
sundown and midnight
G
We made our first wish on a star
D
C
That all of our sins would vanish behind
That
G
Chevrolet getaway car
Em
Somewhere between
heaven and heartache
Bm
C
Out where the buses don't roll
G
D
We lay down in the wild asparagus
Em
C
That grew along
D
Purgatory

We lay down in the wild asparagus

That grew along

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
