Cairo Il

G
All the fields are flooded up to 
Highway 51
G                                 
Illinois is coming ’cross the 
                      Em
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                                 
Nothing’s in a hurry ’cept the 
                           Em
water in between the rising banks
C                              G
Oh nothing moves but nothing stays

C                         D      
Where the longing for the leaving
          Em            D/F#    G
 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                            
After Fort Defiance, now she’s 
                                 Em
weathered by the river and the sun
C                               G
She’s still around but she is gone

C                         D      
Where the longing for the leaving
          Em            D/F#    G
