  Am                       F      
Romero got married on the fifth of

     C/G
 July

       C/G                G
In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn

  Am                         
Could have got married in the 

    F           C/G
revival man's tent

          C/G        G             
But there ain't no reviving what's 

Am
gone

[Verse 2]

  Am                          
Slipped like a shadow from the 

  F        C/G
family he made

     C/G                       G
In a little white house by the woods

            Am                  
Dropped the kids at the mission, 

         F           C/G
with a rose for the virgin

       C/G      G        Am
She knew he was gone for good

[Chorus]

       C/G
It's a long way to Heaven

     G
It's closer to Harrisburg

     F                             
And that's still a long way from 

  C/G               G
the place where we are

       Am                F     
And if evil exists its a pair of 

         C/G
train tracks

        C/G        G        Am
And the devil is a railroad car

[Verse 3]

   Am                              
He could have stayed somewhere but 

    F                 C/G
the train tracks kept going

       C/G                         
And it seems like they always left 

G
soon

        Am                         
And the wolves that he ran with 

  F              C/G
they moaned low and painful

     C/G      G           Am
Sang sad misereres to the moon

[Chorus]

       C/G
It's a long way to Heaven

     G
It's closer to Harrisburg

     F                             
And that's still a long way from 

  C/G               G
the place where we are

       Am                F     
And if evil exists its a pair of 

         C/G
train tracks

        C/G        G        Am
And the devil is a railroad car

C/G    G   Am

[Verse 4]

  Am              F            
Rose at the altar withered and 

C/G
wilted

   C/G              G
Romero sank into a dream

    Am                        F   
He didn't make Heaven and he 

        C/G
didn't make Harrisburg

   C/G       G           Am
He died in a hole in between

[Verse 5]

  Am                     F        
Some say that man is the root of 

   C/G
all evil

   C/G                          G
Others say God's a drunkard for pain

 Am                   F         C/G
Me I believe that the Garden of Eden

     C/G           G          Am
Was burned to make way for a train

[Chorus]

       C/G
It's a long way to Heaven

     G
It's closer to Harrisburg

     F                             
And that's still a long way from 

  C/G               G
the place where we are

       Am                F     
And if evil exists its a pair of 

         C/G
train tracks

        C/G        G        Am
And the devil is a railroad car
