[Verse 1]
       Am                     C
I went down, to the Greyhound station
             Am                C
And I picked up, a long legged man
        F                                  C
I never thought someone could have so much control over me
F                                     G
This simple heart didn't never have a chance

[Verse 2]
         Am            C
We layed down, on that river
        Am           C
He kept me, from the cold
    F                            C           Am
The tremble in his voice put the devil in my soul
F                               G
Then whispered me a story never told

[Chorus]
             C                   Am
Lord save my soul, from thinkin' about him
           F                         G
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
            C                   Am
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
             F     G              C
So I'll keep travelin', travelin' on

[Verse 3]
            Am                  C
Well I wish some nights, things were different
             Am                  C
But I can't help, what's in your mind
          F                                 C
You're so lost in your own world, but honey can't you hear me callin'
    F                                   G
And it's so hard for me to leave it all behind

[Verse 4]
            Am           C
But I think now, on that river
             Am                    C
About when I lost, all the will to try
         F                              C            Am
But your black eyes will no longer have control over me
F                                  G
Cause I wanna get to heaven when I die

[Chorus]
             C                         Am
Lord save my soul, from thinkin' about him
           F                         G
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
            C                   Am
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
             F                    C
So I'll keep travelin', travelin' on
