[B] [A] [C#m]
[D] [A] I'm sitting in the [D] deep blues, lying on the floor, [A] afraid of the day.
[D] I just thought I'd take a ride on the bus, [A] I'm late.
[E] Half a cup of coffee and a sandwich from the [A] microwave.
[B] Well, I'm gonna see my baby, this is the [A] last thing I ever do.
I got to sitting in the station, taking [F#] a guide away, [E] hiding in the great white [A] blues.
Well, the bus is now [D] fused to the man, we're finally [A] rolling in.
[D] So I had a good sleep, listening to the highway [A] sound.
[E] Hot gas must stop, never sink, never [A] tan.
Well, I bought a silk copy of the National Symphony News.
Well, the gas pulled out a lake child, [E] rolling in the sub, what kind of trail, wait, [A] blue.
[C] [A] [E]
[D] [A] Rocking now, [F#m] [A] [D]
[A] [E]
[A] [B]
[A]
rolling into [D] Houston, all them city lights [A] look mad.
[D] So I borrowed a payphone, hanging on my [A] last line.
[E] Woke up and said she got a new man, son, it's been a [A] long, long time.
She left me standing by the highway with the rain running through my shoes.
Well, I'm sitting by the roadside, waiting [E] on the inside, hiding in the [A] great white blues.
I got to waiting on downtown, waiting on the [E] greyhound, hiding in the great [A] white blues.
