[Bridge]
                                D             A
I've been down south where they use the slide machine
                           D                A
Where the gods of old are heard but seldom seen
     F                D            A
And here I been just stuck up in between
      G                    D                  A
Yeah, trying, trying, trying to get back to you
         G                       D                    A
Yeah I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to get back to you


[Verse 1]
                            D                             A
Well the slide machine, it sweeps the bones right off the road
                                D              A
For the tandem trucks and the moats that they tow
F                     D                   A
And me I've just been looking for one going slow


[Chorus]
   G                     D                    A
I'm trying, I'm trying, trying to get back to you
       G                        D                    A
And I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to get back to you

[Verse 2]

                       D          A
My woman here, she's got a dozen names
                             D                    A
She's sought by soldiers and they try to keep her tame
    F              D                     A
And her rewards will leave them just the same


[Chorus]
      G                      D                 A
Yeah tryin' to tryin' to tryin' to get back to you
G                    D                     A
Tryin' to tryin' to tryin' to get back to you

And here I been just stuck up in between
      G                    D                  A
I'm trying, trying, trying to get back to you
         G                       D                    A        G
Yeah I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to get back to you
