Harrisburg Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                         F         C
Romero got married on the fifth of July
                           G
In Our Lady of Immaculate Dawn
  Am                        F          C
Could have got married in the revival man’s tent
   Am                   G             Am
But there ain’t no reviving what’s gone
 
 
Am                                    F        C
They slipped like a shadow from the family he made
                                G
In a little white house by the woods
            Am                          F            C
Dropped the kids at the mission with a rose for the virgin
                G        Am
She knew he was gone for good
 
 
[Chorus]
C                            G
It’s a long way to heaven, it’s closer to Harrisburg
F                                       C             G
And that’s still a long way from the place where we are
        Am              F                   C
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
    G                   Am
And the devil is a railroad car
 
 
AM            F     C                     G                  Am            C          G        Am
 
[Verse 2]
 Am                            F                   C
Could have stayed somewhere, but train tracks kept going
                                 G
It seems like they always left soon
          Am                      F               C
And the people he ran with, they moaned low and painful
           G                Am
Sang sad misereres to the moon
 
 
[Chorus]
C                            G                        F
It’s a long way to heaven, it’s closer to Harrisburg
                                       C             G
And that’s still a long way from the place where we are
        Am              F                   C
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
                         G     Am
And the devil is a railroad car
 
 
AM            F     C                     G                  Am                F           G C      Am
 
[Verse 3]
 Am                  F           C
Rose at the altar, withered and wilted
                  G
Romero sank into a dream
Am                             F       C
He didn’t make heaven and he didn’t make Harrisburg
Am            G         Am
He died in a hole in between
Am                        F            C
Some say that man is the root of all evil
                                 G
Others say God's a drunkard for pain
Am                      F        C
Me I believe that the Garden of Eden
               A      Em     Am
Was burned to make way for a train
 
[Chorus]
C                            G                        F
It’s a long way to heaven, it’s closer to Harrisburg
                                       C             G
And that’s still a long way from the place where we are
        Am              F                   C
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
                         G     Am
And the devil is a railroad car
 
Am               G     C             G      Am        C     G          Am                         A
