CAPO 3

 F                        G           F                      C
The air is gettin' hotter, there's a rumblin' in the skies.
 F                                       G
I've been wadin' through the high muddy waters,
         F                 C
But the heat riseth in my eyes.
      Am/f#                F
Everyday your memory goes dimmer,
 Dm                          C
It doesn't haunt me like it did before.
 F                             G
I've been walkin' through the middle of nowhere,
 F                                   C
Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

 F                            G                F  C
When I was in Missouri, they would not let me be.
 F                        G            F                     C
I had to leave there in a hurry, I only saw what they let me see.
 Am                    F
You broke a heart that loved you,
 Dm                                  C
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore.
 F                     G
I've been walkin' that lonesome valley,
 F                                  C
Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

 F                      G                F      C
People on the platforms, waitin' for the trains.
 F                         G            F                   C
I can hear their hearts a-beatin', like pendulum swingin' on chains.
      Am                   F  
When you think that you've lost everything,
 Dm                         C
You find out you can always lose a little more.
 F                      G
I'm just going down the road feelin' bad,
 F                                  C
Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

INST

 F                        G            F      C
I'm goin' down the river, down to New Orleans.
 F                         G
They tell me everything is gonna be all right,
       F                             C
But I don't know what all right even means.
       Am                    F
I was ridin' in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane,
 Dm                        C
Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore.
 F                   G
I've been all around the world boys,
 F                                      C
I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

 F                              G          F         C
Gotta sleep down in the parlor, and relive my dreams.
 F                    G           F                            C
I close my eyes and I wonder, if everything is as hollow as it seems.
      Am                  F
Some trains don't pull no gamblers,
 Dm                            C
No midnight ramblers like they did before.
 F                        G
I've been to Sugartown, I shook the sugar down,
 F                                          C
Now I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the doors
