-------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] G D/F# | A | A G | D | % | [Verse 1]
G                          A   G                           D
 The air is getting hotter,      there's a rumbling in the skies

G                                       A
I've been wading through the high muddy water

G                           D
 With the heat rising in my eyes

G#m7-5                          G
 Every day your memory grows dimmer

Em                           D
 It doesn't haunt me like it did before

G                                        A
 I've been walking through the middle of nowhere

G                                   D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
[Verse 2]
G                 A      G                D
 When I was in Missouri    they would not let me be

G                          A
 I had to leave there in a hurry

G                     D
 I only saw what they let me see

G#m7-5                   G
  You broke a heart that loved you

            Em                       D
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore

G                                A
 I've been walking that lonesome valley

G                                   D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
[Verse 3]
G              A          G                D
 People on the platforms   waiting for the trains

G                         A
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'

     G                     D
Like pendulums swinging on chains 

         G#m7-5              G
When you think that you lost everything

    Em                             D
You find out you can always lose a little more

G                             A
 I'm just going down the road feeling bad

G                                   D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
[Solo] | G | A | G | D | | G | A | G | D | | G#m7-5 | G | Em | D | | G | A | G | D | % | [Verse 4]
G                   A     G              D
 I'm going down the river, down to New Orleans

G                                    A
 They tell me everything is gonna be all right

    G                             D
But I don't know what "all right" even means

      G#m7-5                      G
I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane

     Em                       D
Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore

G                      A
 I been all around the world, boys

        G                                   D
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
[Verse 5]
G                        A      G              D
 Gonna sleep down in the parlor  and relive my dreams

G                         A
 I'll close my eyes and I wonder 

   G                       D
If everything is as hollow as it seems

G#m7-5                     G
 Some trains don't pull no gamblers

   Em                           D
No midnight ramblers, like they did before

G                        A
 I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down

        G                                   D
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
