Capo 2 fret

Intro: E5  G5  D5  E5 x2

E5                  G5
Packed up my piano, and a suitcase full of clothes
D5                                         E5
and went looking for some better place to hide
E5                      G5            
Ride across the border, in a broken down Sedan
D5                               E5
with a bottle and a rifle on my mind

E5                          G5
On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours
D5                                E5
the radio keeps spitting out the tune
E5                       G5
Every other song is just another tired rhythm
D5                    
another tired lovers tune

C5                           G5
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D5                        E5
where I come from , where I've been
C5                           G5
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D5                            
but I promise I will see you again

Intro: E5  G5  D5  E5

E5                                       G5
Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up
D5                                    G5
I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay
E5                       G5
Over glass fired violet, silence, silence
D5              G5
calling up the day

E5                  G5 
And every man is an island, an island
D5                  E5
in his own special way
E5                               G5
there's a white ghost out on the water, the water
D5
with one good song and nothing else to say

C5                            G5
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D5                        E5
where I come from , where I've been
C5                            G5
It's a long long way back to Nashville
D5                            Dadd11
but I promise I will see you again
In heaven

Then just end with the final refran chords.
