[D]
[A] You know the Amtrak Crescent [D] is a northbound [E] train
[A] When you can't [E] afford to stay no [D] more in New [F#] Orleans
[F#m]
[A] So I bought the cheapest ticket [C#] and I carried [E] my clothes [A] and the blood beneath my [D] eyes and my broken [F#m] nose
Cuz when [E] life goes [B] wrong
Just [F#m] goes on and on when [E] life goes wrong
It just [F#m] drags on.
[B] Well, there ain't no ham like the Birmingham
[E] To make a fella wanna stay in [F#m] Alabama
[E] So crossing [B] to Georgia in the eastern [E]
time
And dare to eat a peach and take it off [F#m] my mind
That when [E] life goes wrong
It just [F#m] goes on and [B] on when life goes [E] wrong
Just [F#m] drags on
[D] somewhere between
[C#] Right and wrong
[F#m] Somehow I've [E] managed to keep [D] moving on
Searching for any [C#] place but [C#m] where I am in a first and second [E] chance
[A]
[C] [A] But at a stop in Charlotte [D] found a hogs leg joint
[E]
[A] It seemed like [B] forever till we reached [F#m] high point
[A] The Lynchburg to [D] devil is a ghost [E] filled rail
[A] If you listen, you can hear the [D] engineers [F#] wife wailing that when life [E] goes wrong
It just [F#] goes on and on when life [C#] goes [E] wrong it just [F#m] drags on

[F#m]
[A] If [F#] you say bull [A] run
Or in Virginia, you don't get [D] along with [F#] anyone
And just across the river you can [A] change your tune
Like all [B] the politicians up in [F#] DC do
when life [E] goes wrong
But just [F#]
go on and on when [B] life goes [E] wrong you listen to him [F#m] just drag
[D]
Somewhere between
[C#] Right and wrong
[F#m] Somehow I've managed [B] to keep moving on
[D] searching for any [C#] place but where I
am in [F#] a first second third [F#m] fourth fifth six seven and [E] a
[F#]
[E]
You [A] know, it used to be [C#m] pretty [D] on the eastern [E] shore
[B] [E] But now it's more New York [D] down to [F#] Baltimore
You [A] take so much effort just to [B] move one train
Why does everything around me have to look [F#m] the same?
Like when life [E] goes wrong
It just [F#m]
goes on and [B] on when life goes wrong
Just [F#m] drags on
And [F#]
[F#m] that's [F#] [F#m]
