(## NOTE: This version is from the album 'Seven Is The Number' ##)
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C majorC G+G DmDm (2x) C majorC
G+G DmDm A minorAm FF
I got a world of trouble in mind, the pilgrim said
C majorC Bb majorBb FF C majorC
Need something to believe in, or someone to be
G+G DmDm A minorAm FF
I got a mountain of worries just piling up inside my head
C majorC Bb majorBb G+G FF
It's a curse of the worst kind for a dreamer like me
G+G E7E7 A minorAm FF
So he climbed up alone on the Turkey Mountain Ridge
C majorC G+G FF
He looked out at the people on the plain
G+G E7E7 A minorAm FF
He saw god that night in the sleepy river and the city lights
C majorC G+G
But he felt like a loser just the same
CHORUS:
A minorAm C majorC FF
Woah, woah, states of misery
C majorC
States of grace
G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Trouble and joy on a young man's face
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm Am/GAm/G FF
Swing low sweet chariot
C majorC
Take me down
DmDm A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
That long black road into Tulsa town
G+G DmDm A minorAm FF
"Well, I gotta roll these tumbling dice again", he sighed
C majorC Bb majorBb FF C majorC
"Leave it up to good fortune and the draw and the deal.
G+G DmDm A minorAm FF
I gotta put my life out on that table and just let it ride
C majorC Bb majorBb G+G FF
Slip away from these hounds of love that nip at my heels"
G+G E7E7 A minorAm
But over on the back porch, in the early morning rain
FF C majorC G+G
Sits a girl with a mirror in her smile
FF G+G E7E7 A minorAm FF
Insubstantial as the summer breeze, as it disappears into the trees
C majorC G+G
But she holds his eye for a little while
CHORUS:
A minorAm C majorC FF
Woah, woah, states of misery
C majorC
States of grace
G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Trouble and joy on a young man's face
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm Am/GAm/G FF
Swing low sweet chariot
C majorC
Take me down
DmDm A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G
That long black road into Tulsa town
INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G DmDm C majorC G+G DmDm
C majorC G+G DmDm FF G+G C majorC
G+G DmDm A minorAm FF
One dreamer got a job someplace, they say he got his life on track
C majorC Bb majorBb FF C majorC
One dreamer got married, they say he sleeps in the sun
G+G DmDm A minorAm FF
One dreamer got strung out young, you know he never really did bounce back
C majorC Bb majorBb G+G
One dreamer got a second chance, and others got none
FF G+G E7E7 A minorAm
This dreamer's sitting on a park bench, in a city far away
FF C majorC G+G
And he tells you the stories of his youth
FF G+G E7E7 A minorAm FF
Forcing a laugh and making a joke outta being lonesome and silly and broke
C majorC G+G
But he still makes room for a little truth
CHORUS:
A minorAm C majorC FF
Woah, woah, states of misery
C majorC
States of grace
G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Trouble and joy on a young man's face
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm Am/GAm/G FF
Swing low sweet chariot
C majorC
Take me down
DmDm A minorAm G+G C majorC
That long black road into Tulsa town
G+G C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm Am/GAm/G FF
Swing low sweet chariot
C majorC
Take me down
DmDm A minorAm G+G
That long black road into Tulsa
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm Am/GAm/G FF G+G C majorC
