G
I'm Allegheny high
         D
Leanin' back into my ride
            Em
I'm goin' 'cross the great divide
C                G
Headed over yonder

A trail of tears lies behind
            D
Lonesome whistle keepin' time
         Em
From a train you'll never find
C        G *
Headed over yonder


[Verse 2]

Things got wicked when she cried
             D
Long brown hair and dark green eyes
      Em
No jewel could satisy
 C            G
Headed over yonder

The corn was low, the timber wide
         D
Always trying to provide
      Em
Now where do I reside?
 C      G *
Headed over yonder


[Verse 3]
   G
Comfort in a loaded gun
        D
Beauty in a settin' sun
     Em
I'm tired of just begun
  C          G
Headed over yonder

Roll through meadows of my kin
         D
Sittin' next to main's best friend
        Em
Comin' up around the bend
 C      G *
Headed over yonder

[Verse 4]
 G
They say I'm born again
         D
Simple 'sorry' and 'amen'
            Em
I'm livin' dyin' by the pen
 C           G
Headed over yonder

I'm Allegheny high
          D
Leanin' back into my ride
           Em
I'm goin' 'cross the great divide
 C          G
Headed over yonder
