Promised Land Chords by Elvis Presley

I left my home in North Fork, Virginia, California, on [D] my mind.
[E] Straddled that 300 road in Minerali and on across [A] Carolina.
_ I had more trouble to turn than to a struggle halfway [D] across Alabama.
[E] Well, I downed, broke down, and left a soft stranded in downtown [A]
Birmingham.
Well, right away I found me a blue crane taking right across the Pacific [D] Rim.
[E] I'm still that midnight flyer out of Birmingham [A] smoking in the New World.
_ Somebody help me get out of Louisiana, just help me get to [D] Houston town.
[E] I got people there who care a little about me and they won't let the [A] poor boy down. _ _ _ _ _ _

Sure sure, a boy in a bald mill silk suit and wooden luggage in [D] my hand.
[E] And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the [A] front of the plane.
Organized people, they call a car to fly over to the [D] gold state.
[E] And the pop goes in 13 minutes, he was dead as a [A] turtle gate.
Swing low, chariot, come down easy, taxi to [D] the terminal zone.
[E] Let your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to the telephone.
[A] _ Los Angeles, Emory, North Fork, Virginia, 9-1-4-10 [D]-0-9.
[E] Telephones back on, the super from a grandpa, ten or four [Em] boys [A] on the line. _ _ _ _ _ _

Working on a team all day, call a car to fly over to [D] the gold state.
[E] And my little foe was in 13 minutes, he was dead as a turtle [A] gate.
Swing low, chariot, come down easy, taxi to the [D] terminal zone.
[E] Let your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to the [A] telephone.
Los Angeles, Emory, North Fork, Virginia, 9-1-4 [D]-10-0-9.
[E] Telephones back on, the super from a grandpa, ten or four [A] boys on the line. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
