[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

[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
