Pretty straighforward - sometimes played capo III in concert
[Verse 1]
Am F C/G Romero got married on the fifth of July C/G G In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn Am F C/G Could have got married in the revival man's tent C/G G Am But there ain't no reviving what's gone
[Verse 2]
Am F C/G Slipped like a shadow from the family he made C/G G In a little white house by the woods Am F C/G Dropped the kids at the mission, with a rose for the virgin C/G G Am She knew he was gone for good
[Chorus]
C/G It's a long way to Heaven G It's closer to Harrisburg F C/G G And that's still a long way from the place where we are Am F C/G And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks C/G G Am And the devil is a railroad car
[Verse 3]
Am F C/G He could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going C/G G And it seems like they always left soon Am F C/G And the wolves that he ran with they moaned low and painful C/G G Am Sang sad misereres to the moon
[Chorus]
C/G It's a long way to Heaven G It's closer to Harrisburg F C/G G And that's still a long way from the place where we are Am F C/G And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks C/G G Am And the devil is a railroad car

[Verse 4]
Am F C/G Rose at the altar withered and wilted C/G G Romero sank into a dream Am F C/G He didn't make Heaven and he didn't make Harrisburg C/G G Am He died in a hole in between
[Verse 5]
Am F C/G Some say that man is the root of all evil C/G G Others say God's a drunkard for pain Am F C/G Me I believe that the Garden of Eden C/G G Am Was burned to make way for a train
[Chorus]
C/G It's a long way to Heaven G It's closer to Harrisburg F C/G G And that's still a long way from the place where we are Am F C/G And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks C/G G Am And the devil is a railroad car
