A5               C5         G5         A5
With damn cursed eyes, the multitude sat
                   C5                G5           A5
As the kettle cars pulled along the rusty tracks
    C5                     G5       A5
One raised his hat in the fading light
     C5          C5      G5            A5
Said  excuse me sir,this doesn't seem right

Chorus:
         A5        G5         D5          A5
Now he's gone like whispers, gone like rain
              G5                  D5           A5
Gone like the faithful while the faithless remain
              G5         D5         C5 
Gone like the stone the builder refused
         C5    A5
Gone and    overdue

A5                 C5            G5           A5
There's a river in Texas with a strong undertow
                     C5               G5        A5
No one crosses it to freedom , no one pans for gold
    C5                     G5          A5
Its waters are clear, its waters are cold
   C5           C5              G5               A5
Its current is swift and no one knows where it goes,  it's just

Chorus

C5       C5    A5
Gone and   overdue

A5               C5              G5              A5
In a cold desert corner, don't appear on no map
        C5               G5             A5
Coyotes scream rips the night in half
   C5                             G5            A5
He hears the devil calling, footsteps on the path
      C5                 C5         G5               A5
So he chews off his own leg, to get out of the trap,    and he's

Chorus

C5       C5    A5
Gone and   overdue, hey hey hey
