verse 1
G
Oh my brother
C Em Am
I think that the moon is high
G
I rode that train car
C Em Am
Where the mountains meet the sky
G
And I drink whiskey
C Em Am
And I’m not drinkin’ rye
G
And I never, oh I never
C Em Am
Learned to say goodbye
G
When I look into your eye
verse 2
G
When I met you
C Em Am
I was only 17
G
And those were the years
C Em Am
That really took my life from me
G
I wish I had a job
C Em Am
Working on a tenant farm
G
Man I would’ve grown okra
C Em Am
Soybeans and even corn
G
Did I mention?
G G G G
Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho!
