It's a long way up, still it's longer coming down
D A E
It's a long way to Chicago on the South side of the town
D A E A
So to Johnny and to Sally who I met out in the alley
D A
Don't know if we'll meet again but thanks for showing me around
D A E A
I've found joy and I've found sorrow and it all could change tomorrow
D A E
And it's something from within that keeps me facing toward the wind
D A E A
And sometimes I can't believe what this old guitar and me
D A E
Have gotten ourselves into and the places that we've been
A D A E A
So let it reel, let it rock, let it rectify your soul
D A E F#m
Let our bones keep dancing round till our bodies all turn cold
D A D A
And when our run is through I know where I'll reside
D A Bm A
With the ladies and gents on the old west side
A E D A E D A
A D A E A
Now I'm way out on the highway like a mongrel dog to roam
D A Bm
Got some pennies in my pocket as I play my way back home
D A
And I'd never think to trade it, I'll always tell you true
D A E A
The wheels they keep on turning and I'm thinking about you
D A Bm A
Now the factory's steady spewing by the dirty riverside
D A E
Where the trains belt out a midnight song and coyotes they cry
D A E A
For their own to be returning, and it ain't much to you
D A E A
The wheels they keep on turning still I'm thinking about you
A D A Bm A
So let it reel, let it rock, let it rectify your soul
D A Bm F#m
Let our bones keep dancing round till our bodies all turn cold
D A D A
And when our run is through I know where I'll reside
D A Bm A
With the ladies and gents on the old west side
A E D A E D A E D A E A
A D A E A
I've found joy and I've found sorrow and it all could change tomorrow
D A Bm E
It's something from within that keeps me facing toward the wind
D A E
But sometimes at night I'll dream of you beneath "the open skies
D A D A
And I'll miss you close beside me and the hazel in your eves
C# D C#
So let it reel, let it rock, let it rectify your soul
D F# D
Let our bones keep dancing round till our bodies all turn cold

And when our run is through I know where I'll reside
