Tuning: I find the best way to play this is with the Capo on the 2nd fret but only
covering the top 5 strings.This means, in the chorus where it says A/D, play it as
a normal A chord in relation to the capo but add the open bottom string. The tab
below shows this: the bracketed 2's represent the capo.

A/D:
e|----(2)----0---------|
B|----(2)----2---------|
G|----(2)----2---------|
D|----(2)----2---------|
A|----(2)----0---------|
E|-----------0---------|

However, it sounds alright if you just put the capo across all strings and play
a normal A chord if it's easier. :)

I could come by rail or baby, I could come by car
          Bm                                 G
I've been missing you in Houston 'neath that bar
          D                          A
Yeah, and I cannot remember all the reasons that you left
        Bm                               G
I know none of them rings true inside my heart

I bet you're drinking as you go, baby you're so full of holes
        Bm                                   G
I'm surprised the whiskey doesn't pour right out
          D                                       A
And I may not be your best choice, but I thought love could fill the void

It's looking like a storm out here on Highway 61

At least that's where we were before I fell asleep
       D                              A
Yeah, me and all the boys are living hard out on the road
        Bm                               G              G   F#
I know you don't care, just talking as I think

        D       A       D       D
These tears of blood I weep

Bridge

    G         A        D
If you could teach me how

I swear I'd stay on the ground
        G        A
I just feel like I am

Falling down

When time has washed away all of the emptiness and pain
    Bm                                      G
The parts the booze and pills just couldn't kill
          D                                A
Hope you turn and come back home, I'll be waiting here alone
          Bm                              G             G   F#
'Cause I swear to God, I know I love you still
