Intro 1
(G major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
(G major) The air is getting hotter (A major)
(G major) There's a rumbling in the skies (D major)
(G major) I've been wading through
the high (A major) muddy water
(G major) With the heat rising in my (D major) eyes
Every day your memory
(B minor) grows dim (G major) mer (E minor)
It doesn't haunt me like it (D major) did before
(G major) I've been walking through
the middle (A major) of nowhere
(G major) Trying to get to heaven
before they close (D major) the door

Verse 2
(G major) When I was in (A major) Missouri (G major)
They would not let (D major) me be
(G major) I had to leave there in a (A major) hurry
(G major) I only saw what they let (D major) me see
You broke a heart that loved (G major) you
Now you can (E minor) seal up the book
and not (D major) write anymore
(G major) I've been walking that lonesome (A major) valley
Try (G major) ing to get to heaven before (E minor)
they close (D major) the door
Verse 3
(G major)
People on the plat (A major) forms
(G major) Waiting for the train (D major) s
(G major) I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
Like (A major) Like (G major) pendulums
swinging on chain (D major) s
When you think that you lost
(B minor) everything (G major)
You find (E minor) out you can always
lose (G major) (D major) a little more
(G major) I'm just going down
the road (A major) feeling bad
Try (G major) ing to get to heaven before they (D major) close the door

(G major) Down to New Orleans
(D major) They (G major) tell me everything
is (A major) gonna be all right
(G major) But I don't know what "all
right" (A major) even (D major) means
I was (B minor) riding in a buggy (B minor)
(D major) with Miss (G major) Mary-Jane
Miss Miss (E minor) Mary-Jane got got
a house in (G major) Bal (D major) timore
(G major) I been all around the world, (A major) boys
Now I'm (G major) trying to get to heaven
before they close (D major) the door
Verse 5
(G major) Gonna sleep down in the par (A major) lor (G major)
And relive my (D major) dreams
(G major) I'll close my eyes and I (A major) wonder
If everything (G major) is as hollow as (D major) it seems
Some trains don't pull (B minor) no gam (G major) blers
No (E minor) midnight ramblers, like (G major) they (D major) did before
(G major) I been to Sugar Town,
I (A major) shook the sugar down
Now I'm (G major) trying to get to heaven before they (D major) close the door
