Continues after the ad
Key:
Bm [Verse 1]
Bm A He took a plane to New York City
G To chase his fortune on the Wall
F#7 Street plan
Bm A Now he is stranded in Manhattan
G F# Yet the Southeast Texas coast
Bm still calls his name [Chorus] He said come on wheels, give up a
A ticket, oh
G Hello thunder, won't you roll him
F#7 home
Bm A Oh a needle and thread could mend his heartache
G F# Old moon give way to the day and
Bm hand him the sun [Verse 2]
Bm A There is no shelter for the lonely
Continues after the ad
G And the Northeast women speak of a
F#7 different tongue
Bm A There are days he cries so loudly
G F# That the southern rain blows north
Bm to ease his heart [Chorus] He said come on wheels, give up a
A ticket, oh
G Hello thunder, won't you roll him
F#7 home
Bm Oh a needle and thread could mend
A his heartache
G F# Old moon give way to the day and
Bm hand him the sun
Bm A G F# Bm [Verse 3]
A Northern harbor take care of my blue boy
G Let your city give him warmth for
F#7 his hands
Bm He will be happy, his heart won't
A long for
G F# His home on the Southeast Texas
Bm coast again [Chorus]
A He said come on wheels, give up a ticket, oh
G Hello thunder, won't you roll him
F#7 home
Bm Oh a needle and thread could mend
A his heartache
G F# Old moon give way to the day and
Bm hand him the sun [Other]
Bm A There are days he cries so loudly
G F# That the southern rain blows north
Bm to ease his heart
