Tending Bar By The Tracks In Tupelo, MS by Drew Kennedy
Key:DD| Capo:0fr|
DD7GGmDD7
It’s a long way to Jackson from this side of town
GGm
It’s even further to Richmond if that’s where you’re bound
DEAAsus2A
Most of these people have been hanging around for a while
DD7
The last train to Memphis long left the tracks
GGm
And I’ve heard some folks saying that it done blew it’s stack
DAD
There ain’t nobody worried cause nobody’s coming back
Chorus:
GEAAsus2AAsus2A
So blow, whistle blow
GEAAsus2Adim
Blow, lonesome whistle blow
DAD
There ain’t nobody leaving tonight from Tupelo
Old Johnny Walker has lived here for years
And he’s seen his share of fighting, share of laughter and tears
But if he ain’t your speed, if you’d rather a beer I’ll oblige
You see I’m a creature of habit, but the habit ain’t mine
Some stranger rolls in from somewhere down the line
And he’s got to stay cause the last train pulled out for the night
Chorus
It’s a long way to Jackson from this side of town
It’s even further to Richmond if Richmond’s where you’re bound
So the first one’s on me cause you’ll be hanging around for a while
