Intro:
Em G C   x3

Verse 1:
         Em           G                C
Oh Miss Misty was a stone-skinned gal
                        Em                         G
Well she didn't stick around in one town for too long
                          C
'Cause "too long is too long," she said


Chorus:
                        G       C
And she said "I'll be gone by morning
             G           C
Don't come looking after me
        G                C                Am
Got to get back to that place I've never been
        C       G
Never been before"


Verse 2:
        Em           G        C
T-Bone city, up the 215
                    Em                          G
She traded in her daddy's old Packard Super 8 Sedan
                      C
For a Vincent black Shadow Machine
      Em                  G
She opened him up, some fifty horses hot
   C
Foaming at their mouths in a dust cloud headed south
Em                             G
On down the devil's backbone, down his crooked legs
      C
"Fly Away Old Glory" ringing in her head


Chorus:
          G         C
"I'll be gone by morning
             G           C
Don't come looking after me
       G                 C                Am
Got to get back to that place I've never been
       C     G
Never been before"


Interlude:
Em G C


Verse 3:
           Em               G             C
The big magnolia down by Buellers pond
                   Em                       G
In a hand me down sun dress and roper boots
                  C
I could go on and on
         Em                   G
With my bolt action .22, I'd knock the blossoms down
  C
Misty'd catch them in her skirt before they hit the ground


Chorus:
          G        C
"I'll be gone by morning
             G           C
Don't come looking after me
       G                 C                Am
Got to get back to that place I've never been
       C     G
Never been before"
