Intro - [ E5 E5 D5 D5 ]x4

E5                             D5       D5
i was having visions of sugar pastry

E5                             D5       D5
cooked up in clarified butter

E5                  D5            D5
i tried to turn my visions into prayers

E5                         D5              D5
but i built my castle way high up in the air

       E5                        D5
yeah i came to the gates of the fabled pink city

A5
hungry, and tired, and cold

      E5         D5
swing low sweet chariot

A5                      G5         D5
chrome tail pipe shining bright as spun gold


[ E5 E5 D5 D5 ]x4


E5                                   D5       D5
my brothers picked me up out of the rushes

E5                  D5          D5
handed me into the company of evil men

         E5                      D5       D5
but I've inched my way down the eastern seaboard

E5              D5       D5
i am coming to Atlanta again

       E5                        D5
yeah i came to the gates of the fabled pink city

A5
hungry, and tired, and mad as all hell

      E5                 D5
swing low sweet jewel-encrusted chariot

A5                 G5       D5
make me young again make me well


[ E5 E5 D5 D5 ]x4


E5                          D5         D5
i am the killer dressed in pilgrim's clothing.

E5                                    D5  D5
i'm the hard to find stations on the AM band.

E5                  D5         D5
i am the white sky high over tripoli

E5                  D5             D5
i am the land mine hidden in the sand.

       E5                        D5 
yeah i came to the gates of the fabled pink city

A5
hungry, and tired, and alone

      E5                     D5 
swing low sweet sweet sweet chariot

       G5        D5
coming forth to carry me home

Notes:

*D4 is this version:

 |  | -X- |  | 
 |  | -3- |  | 
 |  | -0- |  | 
 |  | -0- |  | 
 |  | -0- |  | 
 |  | -X- |  | 

*He sometimes goes back and forth between D and D4 more than just once

*He's probably doing something up on the high e string during the D and D4
 chords but I couldnt tell for sure

*During the verses when he plays E it goes like this:

 |  | -0-0-0-0---0-0--- |  | 
 |  | -0-0-0-0---0-0--- |  | 
 |  | -1-1-1-1---1-1--- |  | 
 |  | -2-2-2-2---2-2--- |  | 
 |  | -2-2-0-2---2-2--- |  | 
 |  | -0-0-0-0---0-0--- |  | 

*There's no Am7 part on the last chorus it just goes straight to the G and D.
 It's a little tricky but if you listen to the song you can figure it out.
