127 Rose Avenue by Hank Williams
Key: G#mG#m | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


G#m
Somewhere in the middle of the Deep South
D#7
Magnolias sway in the breeze
G#m
To the lonesome sound of a redbone hound
D#7
Howlin' at the moon in the trees
G#m                      C#m
There's a sad boy with his guitar
                         G#m
Cuttin' his teeth on the blues
G#m              
Wishin' on a fallin' star
D#7              G#m
at 127 Rose Avenue
Verse 2
G#m
Distant moan of a midnight train comes
D#7
Blowin' through the night
G#m
He dips his pen in tears and pain
D#7
And he begins to write
G#m
'bout a whippoorwill too blue to fly
C#m                      G#m
and the Indian he once knew
G#m
'bout lost highways and purple skies
D#7              G#m
at 127 Rose Avenue
Chorus:
C#m                      D#7
Caretaker said as he shook his head
C#m                      D#7
Son, do you believe in ghosts
C#m                      
For a five dollar bill you can feel the chill
D#7
He felt long ago
Verse 3
G#m
So I bought me a ticket at the front door
D#7
Guess who was there inside
G#m
I felt his presence through the whole tour
D#7
God I swear, he was alive
G#m
I saw the train, I felt the pain
D#7
I heard him moanin' the blues
G#m
29 years of memories
C#m               D#7

Chorus
Verse 4
G#m
Another sad-eyed boy with his guitar
D#7
Cuttin' his teeth on the blues
G#m
Here I am wishin' on a fallin' star
D#7          G#m
At 127 Rose Avenue
Instrumental BREAK
It ain't in Nashville
It's not in Montgomery
