Harlan Road

[Intro]
Em Am Em Am
Em G
Em

[Verse 1]
Em
Funny how she calls tonight
D/F# G
I    need her more than ever
          Am
I've been down in low cotton
              G    Em
As lonesome as can be
                                 D/F#
And I think about her often, boys
    G
And even when I'm sober
  Am
I read over the love notes
             G           Em Gmaj7/A
The ones she wrote for me

[Pre-Chorus]
B7
  And if she want one night
Well that'd be just fine, well

[Chorus]
Em                            D/F#
Somebody fetch my walkin' cane
  G
I'm gonna get my baby
Am
I'm gonna run to meet her
                  G           Em
'Neath the shadow of the pines
Em                             D/F#
She's gonna hop that coal train
      G
She'll get off on Harlan Road
Am
Love me 'til the morning comes
             G           Em
And leave me like a dream

[Verse 2]
Em Am Em
Am        Em                               D/F#
  And I'd run to her through tobacco fields
    G
And over 'cross the clover
    Am
I'd wade a mile of briar patch, boys
             G        Em                                 D/F#
Just to touch her skin  And I reckon I'm the foolish kind
   G
To beckon to her callin'
    Am
But I can't seem to help myself
         G        Em
Let that woman win

[Pre-Chorus]
B7
  And if she wants one night
I'm gonna get what's mine, well

[Chorus]
Em                            D/F#
Somebody fetch my walkin' cane
  G
I'm gonna get my baby
Am
I'm gonna run to meet her
                  G           Em
'Neath the shadow of the pines
Em                             D/F#
She's gonna hop that coal train
      G
She'll get off on Harlan Road
Am
Love me 'til the morning comes
             G           Em
And leave me like a dream

[Instrumental]
Em Am Em Am

[Bridge]
B7
  Buddy, all I know
Is I can't win for losing
          Am
Either lay  here in this lonely room
   B7
Or let her have her way
Buddy, all I need
Is one night where she don't leave
      Am
And this one just might be the night

[Pre-Chorus]
B7
She decides to stay

[Chorus]
Em                            D/F#
Somebody fetch my walkin' cane
   G
I'm gonna get my baby
Am
I'm gonna run to meet her
                  G           Em
'Neath the shadow of the pines
Em                             D/F#
She's gonna hop that coal train
      G
She'll get off on Harlan Road
Am
Love me 'til the morning comes
                         Em
And leave me like a dream

[Outro]
Am
Love me 'til the morning comes
G D/F# Em Am Em
Am Em
