Tishomingo

C                           Am  
Well I don't think that the city
G                      C
 moves slow enough for me
             Am           G
So I'm gonna leave now and I 
                  C
ain't showin' no warnings
                    Am        G   
And I know that mama said her love
                    C
 will always lead me home
                        Am         
But I've been followin' this lonely
     G            C
 road for way too long

[Chorus]
             F           C
So won't you pray for me tonight
                  G                
I've been headin' down a dark cold 
Am
road
                        F          
I've been dreamin' of a porch swing
           C
 with some lights
             G                Am
Hopin' I can find myself back home

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
C                    Am  G 
Now I'm breakin' horses out in 
            C
Tishomingo
                  Am           
And every night I lay there and 
 G                     C
wonder where good men's dreams go
                    Am         
And most nights I wonder how far 
G                C
train cars can travel
             Am                G  
Or how far a man can go before 
              C
one's truly unraveled

[Chorus]
             F           C
So won't you pray for me tonight
                  G                
I've been headin' down a dark cold 
Am
road
                        F          
I've been dreamin' of a porch swing
           C
 with some lights
             G                Am
Hopin' I can find myself back home

[Verse 3]
C                  Am
Don't jump in so quick kid
       G              C
You're gonna wind up hurt
                 Am          G    
She's with a new man in New York 
                C
the last time I heard
                  Am           G  
And I know that mama said her love
                      C
 will always lead me home
               Am         G    
But I've been followin' a lonely 
                   C
road for way too long

[Chorus]
             F           C
So won't you pray for me tonight
                  G                
I've been headin' down a dark cold 
Am
road
                   F            C
I've been dreamin' of you by my side
              G               Am
Prayin' I can get myself back home
