 G
I LEFT MY HOME IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA
         C
CALIFORNIA ON MY MIND
 D
I BOARDED THAT GREYHOUND,
                  G
RODE IN INTO RALIEGH ON ACROSS CAROLINE
G
STOPPED IN CHARLOTTE TO BY PASS ROCKHILL
           C
WE NEVER WAS A MINUTE LATE
    D
WE WERE NINTY MILES OUT OF ATLANTA BY SUNDOWN
            G
ROLLIN' OUT OF GEORGIA STATE
  G
WE HAD MOTOR TROUBLE THAT TURNED INTO A STRUGGLE
         C
HALFWAY ACROSS ALABAM
     D
AND THAT BOW BROKE DOWN
                    G
AND LEFT US STRANDED IN DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM
G

RIGHT AWAY I BOUGHT A THROUGH TRAIN TICKET
            C
GOT ACROSS MISSISSIPPI CLEAN
     D
AND I WAS ON THAT MIDNIGHT FLYER OUT OF BIRMINGHAM
           G
SMOKIN' INTO NEW ORLEANS
G
SOMEBODY HELP ME GET OUT OF LOUISIANA
            C
HELP ME GET TO HOUSTON TOWN

     D
THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WHO CARE A LITTLE 'BOUT ME
              G
AND WON'T PUT THE POOR BOY DOWN
G
GEORGIA BORN, THEY BOUGHT ME A SILK SUIT
           C
AND PUT LUGGAGE IN MY HAND
  D
AND WOKE UP HIGH OVER ALBUQUERQUE
             G
ON A JET TO THE PROMISED LAND
G
WORKIN' ON A T-BONE ALA CARTEE
             C
FLYIN' OVER TO THE GOLDEN STATE
     D
WHEN THE PILOT TOLD US IN THIRTEEN MINUTES
                G
HE WOULD SET US AT THE TERMINAL GATE
G
SWING LOW CHARIOT, COME DOWN EASY
           C
TAXI TO THE TERMINAL DOOR
D
CUT YOUR ENGINES AND COOL YOUR WINGS
               G
AND LET ME MAKE IT TO THE TELEPHONE
G
LOS ANGELES, GIVE ME NORFLOK VIRGINIA
           C
TIDEWATER FOUR TEN O NINE
       D

IT'S THE PROMISED LAND CALLIN'
