Flying Burrito Brothers  Northbound Bus  written by Nickey Barclay
vocal by Gene Parsons

A       E         D
Catch a ride on a northbound bus
               B7            D       A     E
'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
A          E             D
Could have cried for the way it was
            B7             D      A
But there's no one left to dry my tears
                 E
When I think of how it used to be
         G             D             Bm
When we all played together just for fun
       D                       A
Didn't matter who was right or wrong
                E             G          D
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
                              A   D   A
I think I've been around too long
A       E          D
You and I were the best of friends
        B7            D        A    E
Well I think it was a thousand years
A        E           D
Now good bye this is where it ends
               B7            D       A
'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
                       E         G           D
When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble
              Bm               D                    A
It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song
                E             G          D
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
  D                          A   D    A
I think I've been around too long

Nobody had to come on strong
                E             G          D
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
                              A    D           A
I think I've been around too long, around too long
