Hollies - Sweet Country Calling

INTRO: Am7  C  G

      Am7
Going down to take a ride on the Rock Island Line
          G
I'm gonna meet an old friend of mine
           Am7
It's gonna be a fine ride if only I can hide
         G
From the man who guards the freighting line
         Am7                   C
I've got two thousand miles to go where I want to be
G                   D
Lady Luck stay with me
        Am7
I wanna be there
        D
I gotta be there

CHORUS:
G                                          C
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
                                                        G
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
                                                 C
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say

When I get back to you, I won't let you down
                    G
This time I'm gonna stay


BRIDGE:
        Am7                G      Am7
I wanna hear, hear the bluegrass
                                G    Am7
I wanna breathe in the mountain air
                         G
I gotta take in all that moonshine
    Am7           C                     G
But most of all I wanna see a friend of mine


INSTRUMENTAL: G    C    G    C    G


         Am7
The last time I saw her, she was waving me goodbye
G
Heading on down the line
           Am7
She said, "Come on along", I decided to stay
G
Now I know I was wrong
               Am7                C
That's why I'm playing with fate, riding this freight
G                          D
Lady Luck please stay with me
        Am7
I wanna be there
        D
I gotta be there


CHORUS:
G                                          C
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
                                                        G
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
                                                 C
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say

When I get back to you, I won't let you down
                    G
This time I'm gonna stay


CHORUS:      (## fade to end ##)
G                                          C
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
                                                        G
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
                                                 C
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say

When I get back to you, I won't let you down
                    G
