900 Miles From My Home(Keyboard chords)

	        

          C               Am  
Well I'm down here on this track  

       F              C  
Not a shirt upon my back  
         
        Am                              G  
I will sell to you this island that I own  

          C              Am  
Yes, I'll feed the mouths I took  
     
   F                     C  
But as down winds on the brook  

           F             G             C  
Lord, I'm nine hundred miles from my home.  


If my old lady she says so 
I'll railroad no more 
Sidetrack this engine that I still roam 
Yes I've given it my coal 
I've gladly given it all 
'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home 

If I get down by the bank and the river still does run 
Yes and everything I see turns to foam 
Even down on the ocean side 
No, she done waiting just to bang my pride 
'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home 

Oh Mary don't you moan 
Don't you weep on the ground 
Oh Mary don't you weep and don't you moan 
If I get myself in line 
I will be there in due time 
'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
