G		Em            D             G 
six and a half hours into the west virginia night 
Em               D              C                  G 
half a mile from home and i was makin' pretty good time 
G                     Em           D                 G 
thought that i'd gone far enough i couldn't lose the trail 
Em                      D               C               G 
and i stepped through the door i still found the way to fail 

Em D C G  

G                Em                  D             G 
i can't start to count the things i said i'd never be 
Em                 D                 C               G 
but i became them all the night you quit countin' on me 
            Am                   D           
and all the hard things that you said to my heart 
       G                     F 
every one of them things was true but 
  
     C               G 
that one look at the end 
     C               G 
that one look at the end 
             F 
that ran it through 

    G            Em       D               G        
the big gray owl above me starts again to wail 
          Em              D                     C             G 
says that moon has got so low tonight that it's polishin' the rail 
         G                 Em            D                G 
now that mountain engine's runnin' about thirty years too late 
Em               D             C                G 
once you hear it comin' boy it will not let you wait 

Am                   D            G                          F 
i used to think that tomorrow was just out there waitin' for me 
C                  G 
now i wonder where tomorrow 
C              G 
i wonder where tomorrow 
C               G                  F 
i wonder where tomorrow's going to be 

G                 Em               D                     G 
tonight when i am rolling over the earth's most lonesome ground 

Em                      D                     C                  G 
i will think of all the ways next time i will try not to let you down 
Am                      D 
i thought that i'd live long enough 
          G                        F 
that the light would come shining through 

C                        G 
don't this look like the dark (x5)
