127 Rose Avenue - Hank Williams

^AbmSomewhere in the middle of the Deep South ^Eb7Magnolias sway in the breeze

^AbmTo the lonesome sound of a redbone hound ^Eb7Howlin' at the moon in the trees

^AbmThere's a sad boy with hi^Dbms guitar Cuttin' his teeth on the ^Abmblues

^AbmWishin' on a fallin' star ^Eb7at 127 Rose Avenu^Abme

VERSE 2

^AbmDistant moan of a midnight train comes ^Eb7Blowin' through the night

^AbmHe dips his pen in tears and pain ^Eb7And he begins to write

^Abm'bout a whippoorwill too blue to fly ^Dbmand the Indian he once kn^Abmew ^Abm'bout lost highways and purple skies

^Eb7at 127 Rose Avenu^Abme CHORUS: ^DbmCaretaker said as he shoo^Eb7k his head

^DbmSon, do you believe in gh^Eb7osts ^DbmFor a five dollar bill you can feel the chill

^Eb7He felt long ago VERSE 3

^AbmSo I bought me a ticket at the front door ^Eb7Guess who was there inside

^AbmI felt his presence through the whole tour ^Eb7God I swear, he was alive

^AbmI saw the train, I felt the pain ^Eb7I heard him moanin' the blues

^Abm29 years of memories ^Dbmat 127 Rose Avenue^Eb7

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK CHORUS VERSE 4

^AbmAnother sad-eyed boy with his guitar ^Eb7Cuttin' his teeth on the blues

^AbmHere I am wishin' on a fallin' star ^Eb7At 127 Rose A^Abmvenue
