Tom: C
C F C Am F G C
[Verse 1]
Am C
I went down, to the Greyhound station
Am C
And I picked up, a long legged man
F C
I never thought someone could have so much control over me
F G
This simple heart didn't never have a chance
[Verse 2]
Am C
We layed down, on that river
Am C
He kept me, from the cold
F C Am
The tremble in his voice put the devil in my soul
F G
Then whispered me a story never told
[Chorus]
C Am
Lord save my soul, from thinkin' about him
F G
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
C Am
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
F G C
So I'll keep travelin', travelin' on
[Instrumental]
C Am C Am C F C F G
[Verse 3]
Am C
Well I wish some nights, things were different
Am C
But I can't help, what's in your mind
F C
You're so lost in your own world, but honey can't you hear me callin'
F G
And it's so hard for me to leave it all behind
[Verse 4]
Am C
But I think now, on that river
Am C
About when I lost, all the will to try
F C Am
But your black eyes will no longer have control over me
F G
Cause I wanna get to heaven when I die
[Chorus]
C Am
Lord save my soul, from thinkin' about him
F G
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
C Am
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
F C
So I'll keep travelin', travelin' on
