Intro: G F#sus E Am D (accenting Every Bass Note) Verse: G F#sus E Am D I cut my hair short in a foreign country G F#sus E Am D I spend my time thinkin about my baby Am D They say he's gone away Am D And he's probably gonna stay G F#sus E Am D But I keep my cool in the wind and the weather G F#sus E Am D I button my coat, tighten up my sweater Am D Well, hey, don't worry about me Am D The world's fine place to be G F#sus But I think Ill take a train, E Am D Ill take a plane, Ill take a ferry G F#sus E Am D It'll carry me down to the sweet flowing Sewanee Am D And I'll wave to you from the door Am D In the middle of a civil war G F#sus E Am D And my days will be long and my days will be happy G F#sus E Am D They toasted to the moon and I drank to my daddy Am D And the big man made his speech Am D But we were all a little out of reach G F#sus E Am D So you're sitting at the table with my friends and my family G F#sus E Am D You cut that line, and you're through being angry Am D He was thinking about space and time Am D And he took your very last dime G F# E Am D So I'll pray in the night that you won't get lonely G F#sus E Am D That you'll flutter like a fan at a Chinese party Am D Then we'll meet on the western shore Am D And we'll skip around the globe once more Am D But when you held my bag and you smiled like a gentleman Am D I imagined a train ride from China to Switzerland Am D Am D Would you meet me there in the springtime all flowering
I'd stand on the platform and bow to your court and king, well La, la, la G F#sus E Am D G F#sus E Am D I'm just spending all my time writing songs and letters
