Tom: G
G D
Caught a big brown bus headed south out of San Antonio
Em D C
In a gray suitcase I packed up everything I own
G D
Sun's comin' up while the bus tires sigh that highway moan
Em D C
Fell asleep and I dreamed I was king of the Texas rodeo
[Prechorus]
D Em D C
I'm gettin' back to it now, slowly
D
I'm gaining ground
[Chorus]
C G D C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
Em D C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
G Em D
On a big brown bus
Em D C
All across Texas
G Em D
On a big brown bus
[Verse 2]
G D
All the lights over Juarez are hangin' orange and low
Em D C
And I think about buyin' some dexedrine in Mexico
G D
But I'm broke anyway so I'm just gonna stay and stick out the ride
Em D C
With a head full of blood, a mouth full of sand 'cause my throat is too dry
[Prechorus]
D Em D C
And I might die on this highway, part of me
D
Wishes I would
[Chorus]
C G D C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
Em D C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
G Em D
On a big brown bus
Em D C
All across Texas
G Em D
On a big brown bus, yeah

I'm gettin' back to it now, slowly
D

[Chorus]
C G D C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
Em D C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
