Em G D Em x2
[Verse]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
another tired lovers tune
[Chorus]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
but I promise I will see you again
Em G D Em
[Verse]Em G
Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up
D G
I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay
Em G
Over glass fired violet, silence, silence
D G
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
with one good song and nothing else to say
[Chorus]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 Dadd11
but I promise I will see you again
In heaven
