Cairo Il

G
All the fields are flooded up to Highway 51
G                                                       Em
Illinois is coming ’cross the bridge where the Old Ohio was
C                            G
Don’t look away, it will be gone
G
Kentucky and Missouri, a trinity of states
G                                                            Em
Nothing’s in a hurry ’cept the water in between the rising banks
C                              G
Oh nothing moves but nothing stays

C                         D                Em            D/F#    G
Where the longing for the leaving and the welcome-home receiving join

Still I’ll keep driving past the ghost of Cairo, Ill-inois


[Verse 2]
G
She used to be a beauty back in 1891
G                                                             Em
After Fort Defiance, now she’s weathered by the river and the sun
C                               G
She’s still around but she is gone

C                         D                Em            D/F#    G
Where the longing for the leaving and the welcome-home receiving join
                  C              D        Em     D/F#  G
Still I’ll keep driving past the ghost of Cairo, Ill-inois

Da Da da do da do, da da do do
