They said she rides the train to O (G)so re oles. (CN.C.)Now it’s a (A7)might y long way down the (D)dust y trail, and the (A7)sun burns hot ies on the (D)cold steel rails. And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail all the way from Mem phis. Well, I got to O re oles, you know, it took a month. And there was my gui (A)tar, be fore e lec tric junk. Well, Some spade said, (G)“Rock and roll ers, you’re all the same.” Man, that’s your in stru ment, I felt (G)so a shamed. (CN.C.)Now it’s a (A7)might y long way down the (D)rock and roll, through the (A7)Brad ford cit ies and the (D)O re oles. And you look like a star but you’re still on the dole all the way from Mem phis. Yeah, it’s a (A7)might y long way down (D)rock and roll, from the (A7)Liv er pool docks ies to the (D)Hol ly wood Bowl. And you climb up the moun tains and you fall (D)nev down the holes all the way from Mem Yeah, phis. a (A7)might y long way down (D)rock and roll, as your (A7)name er gets hot ies so your (D)heart grows wood cold. And you got to stay young, man, you real can (D)out er be old all the way from Mem Yeah, it’s a all the way from Mem phis.
