[F#] [C]
[D#] [C]
Promised Land.
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California on [F] my mind.
[G]
Straddle that Greyhound Road and end up in Raleigh on a cost [C] car.
Stopped in Charlotte to bypass Rock Hill, never was [F] a minute late.
[G] We were 90 miles out of Atlanta by Sunday, rolling up [C] Georgia State.
We had a little trouble, turned into a struggle, halfway across [F] Alabama.
[G] And our house broke down and left us stranded in downtown [C] Birmingham.
[F] [G]
[F] [C]
On the way up, I ran through a train ticket, riding across [F] Mississippi Clean.
[G] And I was on that midnight fire out of Birmingham, smoking in the New [C] Orleans.
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana, or help me get to [F] Houston town.
[G] Because there are people right there who care a little about me, and they won't let [C] the poor boy down.
Finally in the morning, they bought me a silk shirt with a luggage in [F] my hand.
[G] And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to [C] the Promised Land.
