Verse 1:
     C
Well I got on in Bristol, by the old Virgina line
       C
With a suitcase full of dreams,
                         F
And a brand new spendin' dime

Verse 2:
        C
I had a full bouquet of music, wrapped in pretty words
        C
Singin' songs sent down from heaven,
       F                   C
On the wings of a speckled bird
F                   C
Wings of a speckled bird

Verse 3:
          C
I heard a guitar and a fiddle, banjo and mandolin
   C                                               F
An old man opened up the door and told me "come on in"

Verse 4:
            C
He took my ticket, then he told me,
      C
Bring what it is you do
              C
'Cause that's how you'll be remembered
            F                  C
When you're travelin' days are through
            F                  C
When you're travelin' days are through

Chorus:
     F                       C
They came from the hills and mountains,
    F               C
The valleys and the plains
F                  C
Some were kind and gentle,
                     F
And some too wild to tame
  C
A string of fearless hearts, on an endless ball of twine
         C
It's the same old train, it's
F                C
just a different time
F                C
Just a different time

C
We sung songs in war, we sung songs in peace
                                            F
We traveled in abundance and we traveled on relief

Verse 6:
         C
From the outer gates of heaven, to hell fire's burnin' door
         C
It don't matter where you take it,
       F               C
'Cause it's been there before
F               C
It's been there before

Chorus:

The valleys and the plains

And some too wild to tame

A string of fearless hearts, on an endless ball of twine

They came from the neon cities,

From Bakersfield to Baltimore,

It's sacred holy ground

A string of fearless hearts, on an endless ball of twine
