      [Intro]

Fm  A#  D#  G  Cm

Fm                   A#
A thousand miles from Memphis
          D#                  G       Cm
There's a crime that left the coroner breathless
Fm                           A#                        Cm
It's like the newspapers tellin' that it's a matter of time
Fm                         A#
Tom takes the turnpike for Trenton
               D#            G     Cm
And the pistol shakes in the glove compartment
Fm                               A#                         D#
He's got the dirt on his fingers and something worse on his mind

G#
If I wake in the resurrection

Stuck here with our thoughts in Trenton
D# G          Cm
I, I'll stand beside you
F
Kiss the ground like a radical mind
     Fm
'Til we're tossed down to the ground

Ghosts of this capital town
A#
Yankee streets that can't stand the heat
       Fm                  D#
If the heat's not settling down

Fm                   A#
I'm gonna write me a letter
D#         G  Cm
To a woman in Memphis
Fm                     A#                       Cm
I'm gonna give her the words I never managed to say
Fm                  A#
Sweet Virginia, the life that I would give you
D#     G      Cm
If not for my offenses
Fm               A#                              D#
I never state my intentions until the time slips away

G#
If I wake in the resurrection

Stuck here with our thoughts in Trenton
D# G          Cm
I, I'll stand beside you
F
Kiss the ground like a radical mind
     Fm
'Til we're tossed down to the ground

Ghosts of this capital town
A#
Yankee streets that can't stand the heat
       Fm                  D#
If the heat's not settling down

A#
Yankee streets, you suffer like you mean it
    Fm                             D#
And another day is gone and you're still barely bleeding
A#
Yankee streets that can't stand the heat
       Fm                  D#
If the heat's not settling down
A#
Yankee streets, you suffer like you need
    Fm                             D#
And another day is gone and you're still barely breathing
A#
Yankee streets that can't stand the heat
       Fm                  D#
If the heat's not settling down

Down down
A#
Yankee streets that can't stand the heat
       Fm                  D#
If the heat's not settling down

A#
Yankee streets that can't stand the heat
       Fm                  D#
If the heat's not settling down


(You said you loved me but you left.)
