Standard Tuning Capo 2

                     G                     
I  left my home in  Norfolk, Virginia,
          G                    C
Cali -  fornia on my  mind,
   D
I  straddled that Greyhound, and
D
Rode him into Raleigh, and
D                         G
On across Caro -  line.

       G                                   
We  stopped in Charlotte, to  by pass Brockhill,
       G                             C
We  never was a minute  late,
              D                                  
We was  ninety miles out of At -  lanta by sundown,
D                                 G
Rollin' out of Georgia  state.

      G                                 
We  had motor trouble that  turned into a struggle,
           G                         C
Half -  way across Ala -  bam', and
         D                                 
That  hound broke down and  left us all stranded,
    D                               G
In  downtown Birming -  ham.

G                                      
Right away I bought me a  through train ticket,
                G                        C
Right a -  cross Mississippi  clean,
          D                       
I was  on that midnight  flyer out of Birmingham,
D                                 
G
Smokin' into New Or -  leans.

G                                 
Somebody help me get  out of Louisiana,
G                                    C
Help me get to Houston town,

                D                          
There are  people there, who  care a bit about me, and
        D                                 G
They  won't let the po' boy  down.
G                                   
Sure as you're born they  bought me a silk suit,
G                           C
Put luggage in my  hand, and
   D                           
I  woke up high over  Alberquerque,
         D                            G
On a  jet to the promised  land.

G                              
Workin' on a T-bone  steak a la carte,
          G                            C
Flyin'  over to the Golden  State,
                 D                    
When the  pilot told us in thirteen minutes,
                 D                              G
He would  set us at the terminal  gate.

G                           
Swing low chariot,  come down easy,
G                             C
Taxi to the terminal  zone,
D                               
Cut your engines and  cool your wings, and
             D                             G
Let me  make it to the tele -  phone.

G                               
Los Angeles, give me  Norfolk Virginia,
           G                        C
Tide -  water four ten o  nine,
D                                                          
Tell all the  folks back home, this is the  Promised Land callin', and
        D                         G
The  po' boy is on the  line.
