Pretty straighforward - sometimes played capo III in concert
[Verse 1]
Am F C/G
Romero got married on the fifth of July
C/G G
In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn
Am F C/G
Could have got married in the revival man's tent
C/G G Am
But there ain't no reviving what's gone
[Verse 2]
Am F C/G
Slipped like a shadow from the family he made
C/G G
In a little white house by the woods
Am F C/G
Dropped the kids at the mission, with a rose for the virgin
C/G G Am
She knew he was gone for good
[Chorus]
C/G
It's a long way to Heaven
G
It's closer to Harrisburg
F C/G G
And that's still a long way from the place where we are
Am F C/G
And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks
C/G G Am
And the devil is a railroad car
[Verse 3]
Am F C/G
He could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going
C/G G
And it seems like they always left soon
Am F C/G
And the wolves that he ran with they moaned low and painful
C/G G Am
Sang sad misereres to the moon
[Chorus]
C/G
It's a long way to Heaven
G
It's closer to Harrisburg
F C/G G
And that's still a long way from the place where we are
Am F C/G
And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks
C/G G Am
And the devil is a railroad car
[Instrumental]
Am F C/G

C/G G Am
[Verse 4]
Am F C/G
Rose at the altar withered and wilted
C/G G
Romero sank into a dream
Am F C/G
He didn't make Heaven and he didn't make Harrisburg
C/G G Am
He died in a hole in between
[Verse 5]
Am F C/G
Some say that man is the root of all evil
C/G G
Others say God's a drunkard for pain
Am F C/G
Me I believe that the Garden of Eden
C/G G Am
Was burned to make way for a train
[Chorus]
C/G
It's a long way to Heaven
G
It's closer to Harrisburg
F C/G G
And that's still a long way from the place where we are
Am F C/G
And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks
C/G G Am
And the devil is a railroad car

This is a beautiful song and so few of them make it to the web, I'm in a low spot, and my energy is drained from so much loneliness and pain. sorry for the poor rating, was just needing something to sight read and sing.
