[Intro]
C Em Am G
[Verse]
C
You got some things to say
Em
But you never like to speak
Am G C
So you grab a pen and you head out for the table
C
You scotch taped a note down
Em
Of words that you wrote down
Am G C
Resembling an old English fable
[Chorus]
F Em C
And you were half way to Hardinsburg
F G Am
And you were half way to hell
Am G F Am C
When you heard the sound of the organ's bitter swell
[Instrumental]
C Em Am G
[Verse]
C Em
You're modeling the fashions while you're counting up your rations
Am G C
Well, girl you've got plans of your own
C Em
You're cursing the masses while you're looking through your glasses
Am G C
Well, girl you ain't never going back home
[Chorus]
F Em C
And you were half way to Hardinsburg
F G Am
And you were half way to hell
Am G F Am C
When you heard the sound of the organ's bitter swell
[Bridge]
C Em
Mr. Moses, your front porch light's on
Am G
I've come here for your daughter and I can see that she's gone
C Em
You said she took a ring of mine to pawn
Am G
If I hurry I could catch her out on Broadway to dawn
[Solo]

C Am G F G
C Am G F G
[Chorus]
F Em C
And you were half way to Hardinsburg
F G Am
And you were half way to hell
Am G F Am C
When you heard the sound of the organ's bitter swell
