EmGDEm x2 [Verse]
EmG Packed up my piano, and a suitcase full of clothes
DEm and went looking for some better place to hide
EmG Ride across the border, in a broken down Sedan
DEm with a bottle and a rifle on my mind
EmG On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours
DEm the radio keeps spitting out the tune
EmG Every other song is just another tired rhythm
D another tired lovers tune
 [Chorus]
CG It's a long long way back to Nashville
DEm where I come from, where I've been
CG It's a long long way back to Nashville
D but I promise I will see you again
EmGDEm [Verse]
EmG Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up
DG I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay
EmG Over glass fired violet, silence, silence
DG calling up the day
EmG And every man is an island, an island
DEm in his own special way
EmG there's a white ghost out on the water, the water
D with one good song and nothing else to say
 [Chorus]
CG It's a long long way back to Nashville
DEm where I come from, where I've been
CG It's a long long way back to Nashville
D Dadd11 but I promise I will see you again
In heaven
