Am                     C          F                     
Tangie and Ray left Columbia, Maryland
                       C                C7
to go rolling with the rubber tramps
                     F
and see the last few mountain men
       Am 
In the back of a truck
                 C             F
with the bags of sugar and the guns
                    C     C7
Over the bumpy USFS roads
                               F       C        E
With all the other fledgelings falling from the limbs,
                    Am
who are never going home
                         C                  F
Tangie and Ray, they got hair down to their knees
                   C              C7
and Tangie rides a bighorn ram 
                    F
and Ray can talk to trees
          
           Am            
Now they're one with the dirt
                    C                 F
With the mouldering bones and litter leaves
Am
Down in the dirt
                           F      C    E
Under the cloudy sky and unbroken canopy
                    Am
They're never going home
Never going home

Solo A And D 

Same as before 

Down in the dirt with the spineless animals and seeds
They live down in the dirt
Under the cloudy sky and unbroken canopy
and never going home

Down in the dirt with the spineless animals and seeds
They live down in the dirt
Under the cloudy sky and unbroken canopy
They're never going home
