John Gorka - The ballad of jamie bee

Jamie ran a^G6ground out in O^Dmhio ^C/G Wife left f^G6or the great un^Fknown ^C/G He says he's gonna ^G6take to the ^Dmhigh road ^C/G And she will find a place a^Flone ^C/G

He said he just ^G6could not make her ^Dmhappy ^C/G That he never ^G6tried so hard be^Ffore ^C/G He'd wake up first and ^G6make the ^Dmcoffee ^C/G Now the mornings were like ^Fwar

There's a ^Ambarroom for every way the ^Gwind blows And a ^Amharness for every mother's ^Fson You ^Ampull your own weight or else it ^Gpulls you And it gets ^Amharder the longer that you ^C/Grun

Jamie's from the ^G6last great breed of ^Dmroadmen ^C/G Woody, Jack and ^G6Kerouac and ^Fsuch ^C/G But here was a ^G6woman he would ^Dmdie for ^C/G Beauty no road could ever ^Ftouch ^C/G

The town was nearly ^G6famous for the ^Dmglassworks ^C/G The factory where they ^G6made hoods for the ^FKlan ^C/G There's a football hall-of-^G6famer in the ^Dmphonebook ^C/G There's only trouble for an empty ^Fman

'Cause there's a ^Ambarroom for every way the ^Gwind blows And temp^Amtation in every substance ^Fknown You ^Ampull your own weight or else it ^Gpulls you It gets ^Amharder the older that you've ^C/Ggrown ^{Dm C/G F}

^C/GAt home in the ^G6Harley-ridden po^Dmol-halls ^C/G Guess it's best they ^G6never had those ^Fkids ^C/G Closer to the ^G6outlaws than the ^Dmin-laws ^C/G 'Said Jamie's heart don't ^G6break, but I know it ^Fdid They said ^AmJamie's heart don't ^G6break, but I know it ^Fdid

^C/GHe will find some ^G6refuge in his ^Dmmusic ^C/G And a long shot that ^G6they will recon^Fcile ^C/G The meantime is a ^G6mean time and he ^Dmknows it ^C/G 'Til the day he's back up on the ^Fpile

Now there's ^Amheadlights heading from O^Ghio And there's ^Amteardrops saltier than ^Frain There's ^Amtaillights to tell a tale still ^Gtender And a ^Amcold wind blowing through the ^C/Gnight There's a ^Amcold wind blowing through to^C/Gnight
