           D                     A        Bm
Well I'm-a going back down maybe one more time

A         Gsus2          D   Dadd11
Deep down home, October road

      D                             A         Bm7
And I might like to see that little friend of mine

       A       Gsus2            D
That I left behind once upon a time

    Dadd11    D        A        Bm7
Oh, promised land and me still standing

       A       Gsus2                  D
It's a test of time, it's a real good sign
[Verse 2]
        A             A6sus  D        G
Let the sun run down right behind the hill

  A        A6sus D        G
I know how to stand there still

          A         A6sus D       G       A  A6sus G
'Till the moon rise up behind the pine, oh Lord

[Verse 3]
         D                     A        Bm
It's the big-time life that I can't abide

A         Gsus2       D    Dadd11
Raise my rent, tan my hide

D                 A      Bm
Sweet call of the countryside

A         Gsus2     D    Dadd11
Go down slow, open wide

         D           A           Bm
I did my time and it changed my mind

A         Gsus2   D
I'm satisfied, oh
[Verse 4]
       A        A6sus   D        G          A          A6sus D    G
(I got so) I got so low down, fed up, my God, I could hardly move

          A              A6sus
Won't you come on, my brother

  D    G
Get on up

     A     A6sus A G
And help me find my groove

Keep me walking in the sunshine, yeah
