Long Way From Tupelo

     E           G
On a hot Sunday evening
        A           G
I was drive in the country
        E             G          
When I felt my left-front tire 
A     G
blow
         E             G
In the trunk I had a spare
         A             G
But the jack wasn't there
      E        G      A     G
On a desolate gravel road


 E                 G
Just across the street
       A         G
Was a two-room shack
       E             G        
And a girl shelling peas on the 
   A     G
porch
          E          G         
When she ran out to meet me in a 
   A             G
white cotton dress
             E          G      
All I could say was; 'Praise the 
   A        G
Lord!'


[Chorus]

               E          G  A   
Yeah, I was a long way from 
   G
Tupelo
   E          G   A      G
A long ways from Tupelo
               E            G     
Yeah, I was stranded in a place 
     A       G
that nobody knows
          E    G       A      G
I was a long was from Tupelo

[Verse]

               E           G
She said; 'My mamma's not home
        A             G
And we don't have a phone
                 E      G      A 
But if there's anything I can do
   G

        E        G             A 
I'd be happy to pour you some 
        G
cold iced tea
            E            G      A
Because I think you're kind of 
      G
cute'

     E     G            A        
We went inside and sat down on 
   G
the couch
          E            G     A    G
And that girl started up on me
     E         G              A  
And just like Adam and that 
      G
Garden of Eden
                   E         G    
She showed me that apple and I got
  A    E
 weak


[Chorus]

               E          G  A   
Yeah, I was a long way from 
   G
Tupelo
   E          G   A      G
A long ways from Tupelo
               E            G     
Yeah, I was stranded in a place 
     A       G
that nobody knows
          E    G       A      G
I was a long was from Tupelo


[Verse]

           E             G       
Well, her mother showed up and 
A      G
saw me there
       E          G            A 
Said what in the world's going on
    G

                E            G
She answered; 'Mamma, don't worry
        A         G
He's a real nice man'
             E              G     
Who's broke down and ain't got a 
    A     G
way home
            E        G       A   
Her daddy gave me a ride and I 
        G
gave him $20
          E            G       A 
For his trouble and a tank of gas
   G

          E   G    A        G
It was a day I'll always remember
           E    G    A    G
But if my wife ever asks

I'd say;



[Chorus]

               E          G  A   
Yeah, I was a long way from 
   G
Tupelo
   E          G   A      G
A long ways from Tupelo
               E            G     
Yeah, I was stranded in a place 
     A       G
that nobody knows
          E    G       A      G
I was a long was from Tupelo
