E|--(3)-------------

           G             C               G          C  G
Well I was standing on a platform at the station
        G                  C                D           Dsus4  D
And the deputies, they had killed my last relation (?)
      G        C          G       C  G
I can feel the dawn on my back
      C               D       Dsus4  D     G         C  G
And I hear that train rolling down     the tracks

        C                            G        C  G
And I'm going to the Promised Land tonight
        C                            G        C  G
Yes I'm going to the Promised Land tonight
        C                            G             Em
Yes I'm going to the Promised Land tonight, it's alright
C           D                  G      C  G
If you want you can come along too

G    C    G    (x2)

Well I'm chained to the walls behind these bars
And I can hear my friends riding there (?) in their cars
Well I wanted my mama to come see me
And the hanging is supposed to start at 3

Chorus

(Suck on that thing Skid)

G    C    G  (over harmonica solo)

Well they cut the rope and I, I hit the ground
My friend Buck he shot the sheriff down
Just about dawn we crossed, crossed the state line
It was just that moment when I knew I was alive

Chorus

       C            D
I said if you want, you can come along too

G    C    G    (x4)
