    G              A      G
The air is getting hotter

                          D
There's a rumbling in the skies

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

         G                      D
With the heat rising through my eyes

Bm                          G
Every day your memory grows dimmer

E                                D
It doesn't hurt 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

G             A        G
People on the platforms

                D
Waiting for the trains

G                         A
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'

     G                     D
Like pendulums swinging on chains

Bm                                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 A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

D  G F       G   D
Oooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G                  A    G
I'm going down the river

              D
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

Bm                    G    
I close my eyes and I wonder boys

E                                D
If everything is as hollow as it seems

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

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door . . .
