                       Em     B         C
 I'm an engine driver
                      G       D            C
 on a long run, on a long run
                         Em   B           C
 would I were beside her
                           G          D
 she's a long one, such a long one

C                       G           D             C      G       D
and if you don't love me let me go
C                       G           D             C       Em      B
and if you don't love me let me go


I'm a county lineman
on the high line, on the high line
so will be my grandson
there are powerlines in our blood lines

and if you don't love me let me go
and if you don't love me let me go

G            D                   C
I am a writer, writer of fictions
                                         G
I am the heart that you call home
                    D               C
I've written pages upon pages
                                       F          E
trying to rid you from my bones
F          E            C.....
my bones, my bones....


etc. until this beautiful song is over.  Call some friends and have a weepy singalong.
