[Intro] Em G D Em
Em G D Em
Em G
Packed up my piano, and a suitcase full of clothes
D Em
And went looking for some better place to hide
Em G
Ride across the border, in a broken down Sedan
D Em
With a bottle and a rifle on my mind
Em G
On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours
D Em
The radio keeps spitting out the tune
Em G
Every other song is just another tired rhythm
D Em
Another tired lovers tune
C G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D Em
Where I come from, where I've been
C G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D Em
But I promise I will see you again
( Em G D Em )
Em G
Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up
D Em
I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay
Em G
Over glass fired violet, silence, silence
D Em
Calling up the day
Em G
And every man is an island, an island
D Em
In his own special way
Em G
There's a white ghost out on the water, the water
D Em
With one good song and nothing else to say
C G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D Em
Where I come from, where I've been
C G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D D11
But I promise I will see you again
In heaven
