Intro:
Fadd9  C  Am  Fadd9  C  x4
(Harmonica comes in after first measure)

Fadd9                                           C
When I die lord won't you put my soul up on a train

          Fadd9                                       C
Won't you send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name

          Fadd9                                                  C
I've been lost out on those back roads so many times I've gone blind

Fadd9                                                      C
Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind
Chorus:
             Am          Fadd9                      C
But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home

                 Am               Fadd9                       C
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin' cold
Short Break: Fadd9 C Am Fadd9 C x2
                   Fadd9                                               C
Well I've been a desperado in west Texas for so long lord, I need a change

       Fadd9                                                  C
And for ten long years, this old place ain't seen a drop of rain

         Fadd9                                       C
And that wind blows everyday Lord, oh like a desert snow

      Fadd9                                               C
Like a lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control
Chorus:
             Am          Fadd9                      C
But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home

                 Am               Fadd9                       C
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin' cold
Long Break:
Fadd9  C  Am  Fadd9  C  x4
(end midway on Em while starting the next verse)
Play this next verse very slowly:
Am                 Fadd9                                 C
Along those Louisiana byways… lonesome highway's rollin' on

          Fadd9                                                C
Won't you take me where the poor man lives… it's where I call home

    Fadd9                                                    C
And can't you see that a breeze… is nothin' but a change in pace

Fadd9                                                         C ...
Money can't buy my soul… 'cause it comes from a hard earned place
Kick back up to the standard tempo for the rest of the song: Chorus: (x2)
             Am          Fadd9                      C
But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home

                 Am               Fadd9                       C
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin' cold
Outro:
Fadd9  C  Am  Fadd9
(Repeat until fade)
