G
There's thousand miles in back of me and many more to go

                          C              G
Riding on a freight train feeling mighty low

G                                                         C
I keep wonderin' why she quit me  but  I guess I'll never know

                      G      D7             G
Yes she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago

 
 C                     G
A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad

D7                              C               G
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had

G                                                     C
I know I shouldn't feel this way but I still love her so

                  G                D7             G
I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago

 
G 
I know I've held her in my arms  a thousand times or more

                                  C             G
Promised her a world of love 'til I learned the score

                                                       C
That's why I'm feeling lonesome that's why I'm feeling low

                      G      D7             G
Yes she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago

 
 C                     G
A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad

D7                              C               G
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had

                                                      C
I know I shouldn't feel this way but I still love her so

                  G                D7             G
I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago
