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"
