Tuning: Standard (Fast tempo. Hammer fore finger on each chord)
Intro: (4X)
Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (Harmonica comes in after first measure)
When I die lord wonât you put my soul up on a train
Wonât you send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name
Iâve been lost out on those back roads so many times I ve gone blind
Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind
Chorus:
But on the South side of heaven wonât you take me home
Cause I ve been broke down for so long and Lord it s gettinâ cold
Short Break: , , , , (2X)
Well I ve been a desperado in west Texas for so long lord, I need a change
And for ten long years, this old place ainât seen a drop of rain
And that wind blows everyday Lord, oh like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control
Chorus:
But on the South side of heaven wonât you take me home
Cause I ve been broke down for so long and Lord it s gettinâ cold
Long Break: Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (4X, ending midway on Em while starting the next verse)
Play this next verse very slowly:
Along those Louisiana byways⦠lonesome highwayâs rollinâ on
Wonât you take me where the poor man lives⦠itâs where I call home
And can t you see that a breeze⦠is nothinâ but a change in pace
...
Money canât buy my soul⦠âcause it comes from a hard earned place
Kick back up to the standard tempo for the rest of the song:
Chorus: (2X)
But on the South side of heaven wonât you take me home
Cause I ve been broke down for so long and Lord it s gettinâ cold
Outro: , , , (Repeat until fade)
