Tonart: C major•
Verse 1
C
I left my home in Norfolk,
Virginia, California, on my mind
F
G
I straddled that greyhound
and rode him into Raleigh
We stopped in Charlotte
to bypass Rock Hill,
we never was a minute late
F
G
We were ninety miles out of Atlanta
by sundown,
rollin' out of Georgia State
that turned into a struggle
G
And that hound broke down
and left us all stranded
in downtown Birmingham
C
F
G
a through train ticket
F
ridin' across Mississippi clean
G
And I was on that midnight flyer
out of Birmingham
C
smokin' into New Or leans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
F
just to help me get to Houston town
who care a little about me
C
and they won't let the poor boy down
Jersey born me, bought me a silk suit,
G
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
C
on a jet to the promised land

Verse 2

Workin' on a T -Bone steak,
I like party flyin' over
G
When the pilot told us in
thirteen minutes
C
he would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low the chariot, come down easy
F
Taxi to the terminal zone
G
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
C
Los Angeles, give me Norfolk,
Virginia

Tell the folks back home
this is the promised land
Call it and the poor boy's
