G               Em            D             G
six and a half hours into the west virginia night
Em               D              C                  G
half a mile from home and i was makin' pretty good time
G                     Em           D                 G
thought that i'd gone far enough i couldn't lose the trail
Em                      D               C               G
and i stepped through the door i still found the way to fail

Em D C G 

G                Em                  D             G
i can't start to count the things i said i'd never be
Em                 D                 C               G
but i became them all the night you quit countin' on me
            Am                   D          
and all the hard things that you said to my heart
       G                     F
every one of them things was true but
 
     C               G
that one look at the end
     C               G
that one look at the end
             F
that ran it through

    G            Em       D               G       
the big gray owl above me starts again to wail
          Em              D                     C             G
says that moon has got so low tonight that it's polishin' the rail
         G                 Em            D                G
now that mountain engine's runnin' about thirty years too late
Em               D             C                G
once you hear it comin' boy it will not let you wait

Am                   D            G                          F
i used to think that tomorrow was just out there waitin' for me
C                  G
now i wonder where tomorrow
C              G
i wonder where tomorrow
C               G                  F
i wonder where tomorrow's going to be

G                 Em               D                     G
tonight when i am rolling over the earth's most lonesome ground

Em                      D                     C                  G
i will think of all the ways next time i will try not to let you down
Am                      D
i thought that i'd live long enough
          G                        F
that the light would come shining through

C                        G
