[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Riding in planes and hailing cabs, I've been on the road so long
[Gm] Looking for [Cm] the sunshine every [F] day, that [Bb] I'm in a missing salon
[Eb] Two blocks over and one street across, an uptown round-a-down
Lord, there must be something just a-hiding out [Bb] somewhere, someplace [Eb] I ain't found
Annie, orphan Annie, [Abm] are your [Bb] national nights still warm?
[Cm] Somewhere in the west of town, well [F] it's a-coming up [Bb] a storm
[Ab] High rivers [Gm] dark and muddy, where [Eb] the green swamp willows grow
Nine more [Gm] days and [Cm] I'll be home, [Bb] Lord, back [Eb] in off the road
[C] [Eb]

[Gm] Lord, I wish I [Cm] was down in Nashville [F] town, about Fifth and [Bb] Broadway
[Eb] Where the Cumberland Rose, the soft breeze blows, and home it ain't far away
But I hear myself in New York [Gb] City, just a [Bb]-hanging [Eb] out every day
Annie, orphan Annie, [Ab] are your national nights [Bb] still warm?
[Cm] Somewhere in the west of town, well [F] it's a-coming [Bb] up a storm
