G D/F# A A G D
G A G D
The air is getting hotter, there's a rumbling in the skies
G A
I've been wading through the high muddy water
G D
With the heat rising in my eyes
G#m7b5 G
Every day your memory grows dimmer
Em D
It doesn't haunt me like it did before
G A
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere
G D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A G D
When I was in Missouri they would not let me be
G A
I had to leave there in a hurry
G D
I only saw what they let me see
G#m7b5 G
You broke a heart that loved you
Em D
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
G A
I've been walking that lonesome valley
G D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A G D
People on the platforms waiting for the trains
G A
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
G D
Like pendulums swinging on chains
G#m7b5 G
When you think that you lost everything
Em D
You find out you can always lose a little more
G A
I'm just going down the road feeling bad
G D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A G D

G#m7b5 G Em D
G A G D
G A G D
I'm going down the river, down to New Orleans
G A
They tell me everything is gonna be all right
G D
But I don't know what "all right" even means
G#m7b5 G
I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane
Em D
Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore
G A
I been all around the world, boys
G D
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A G D
Gonna sleep down in the parlor and relive my dreams
G A
I'll close my eyes and I wonder
G D
If everything is as hollow as it seems
G#m7b5 G
Some trains don't pull no gamblers
Em D
No midnight ramblers, like they did before
G A
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
G D
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A G D
