Capo 2 fret

Intro: Em  G  D  Em x2

Em                  G
Packed up my piano, and a suitcase full of clothes
D                                         Em
and went looking for some better place to hide
Em                      G            
Ride across the border, in a broken down Sedan
D                               Em
with a bottle and a rifle on my mind

Em                          G
On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours
D                                Em
the radio keeps spitting out the tune
Em                       G
Every other song is just another tired rhythm
D                    
another tired lovers tune

C                           G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D                        Em
where I come from , where I've been
C                           G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D                            
but I promise I will see you again

Intro: Em  G  D  Em

Em                                       G
Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up
D                                    G
I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay
Em                       G
Over glass fired violet, silence, silence
D              G
calling up the day

Em                  G 
And every man is an island, an island
D                  Em
in his own special way
Em                               G
there's a white ghost out on the water, the water
D
with one good song and nothing else to say

C                            G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D                        Em
where I come from , where I've been
C                            G
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D                            Dadd11
but I promise I will see you again
In heaven

Then just end with the final refran chords.
