Intro: Em  G  D  Em (2x) 

Em                  G 
Packed up my piano, and a suitcase full of clothes 
D                                         Em 
and went looking for some better place to hide 
Em                      G             
Ride across the border, in a broken down Sedan 
D                               Em 
with a bottle and a rifle on my mind 

Em                          G 
On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours 
D                                Em 
the radio keeps spitting out the tune 
Em                       G 
Every other song is just another tired rhythm 
D                     
another tired lovers tune 

C                           G 
It's a long long way back to Nashville 
D                        Em 
where I come from, where I've been 
C                           G 
It's a long long way back to Nashville 
D                             
but I promise I will see you again 

Intro: Em  G  D  Em 

Em                                       G 
Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up 
D                                    G 
I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay 
Em                       G 
Over glass fired violet, silence, silence 
D              G 
calling up the day 

Em                  G  
And every man is an island, an island 
D                  Em 
in his own special way 
Em                               G 
there's a white ghost out on the water, the water 
D 
with one good song and nothing else to say 

C                            G 
It's a long long way back to Nashville 
D                        Em 
where I come from, where I've been 
C                            G 
It's a long long way back to Nashville 
D                            Dadd11 
but I promise I will see you again 
In heaven
