I'm going to sing a song called Dusty [F] Day Dawning.
Dusty day dawning, three [C] hours late.
Opened [F] the curtains and let the [C] rest wait.
My mind [F] goes a runnin' three thousand [C] miles east.
I may miss [F] the harvest, but I won't [C] miss the feast.
And [G] it looks like you're gonna have [F] to see me again.
[C] And [G] it looks like you're gonna have [C] to see [F] me again.
[Cm] And [G] it looks like you're gonna have to [F] see me again.
[C] Illinois, [Fm]
[C] Illinois, Illinois,
[Fm] [C] Illinois.
South [F] California, the sun is [C] too cold.
It looks [F] like your heat is half and a [C] great deal goes.
I should [F]
have gone back when I was [C] first told.
This slam [F] has got you, you're turning [C] to the floor.
And [G] it looks like you're gonna have to [F] see me again.
[G] And it looks like you're gonna have [F] to see me again.
And [G] it looks like you're gonna [C] have to [F] see me again.

I'm your [C]
boy.

[C]
on [F] the prairies, soil [C] and stone.
Stretching [F]
forever, taking [C] me home.
I've got a [F] woman who waits [C] for me there.
And I [F] need a breath of sweet [C] country air.
And [G] it looks like you're gonna have to [F] see me again.
And [G] it looks like you're gonna have to [F] see me again.
[G] And it looks like you're gonna have [F] to see me again.
