Jimmie Rodgers' Dream

[Intro]
E D A A x2
 
[Verse]
    E                          A
I'm looking at a funeral wagon rolling down
   G               A               E
A two-lane highway winding past a desert town
  C#m7                            F#m7
A big blue canvas painted by the Master's hand
    B                A                 E
The shifting clouds above and endless miles of sand
 
[Verse 2]
E                                  A
In that mirror maybe that's what's left of me
G               A                           E
Wheezing like a freight train hauling sixty tons of steel
C#m7                               F#m7
Air 'em out's the best release and get some rest
       B                A                  E
Carrie don't wait up for me the brakeman's going West
 
[Chorus]
G            A
In this room all alone
  Esus4 E
I dream of you
 G                A
In this drawer I found someone
 Esus4 E
I never knew
      C#m7                            F#m7
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
     B          B6 A          E
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian
 
[Verse 3]
           E                        A
I've seen dusty beaten delta boys cutting heads
  G                  A               E
A black face carney showman scare a song to death
   C#m7                                F#m7
In my short life I've seen as much as most men need
     B                A               E
Now I'm just looking for some cleaner air to breathe
 
[Chorus]
G            A
In this room all alone
  Esus4 E
I dream of you
 G                A
In this drawer I found someone
 Esus4 E
I never knew
      C#m7                            F#m7
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
     B          B6 A          E
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian
 
[Bridge]
G
Far away, far away
    C
So many years, so many days
G
All along this broken land
     A
I've seen a lover's empty arms
    D7
And hunger's empty hand
 
E A G A E C#m7 F#m7 B A E
 
[Chorus]
G            A
In this room all alone
  Esus4 E
I dream of you
 G                A
In this drawer I found someone
 Esus4 E
I never knew
      C#m7                            F#m7
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
     B          B6 A          E
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian
 
[Outro]
E D A A ad nauseum
