Intro: Db

Chorus:
        Ab                Ab
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
                    Ab                   Ab
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
                  Db           Db
To the summer sunset on a holy night
               Db                     Db
On a long back road, all the tears I fight


        Ab                Ab
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
                    Ab                   Ab
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
                  Db           Db
To the summer sunset on a holy night
               Db                     Db
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

Verse 1:
                Ab                 Ab
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
                Ab               Ab
Had to leave my home at an early age
           Db                   Db
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
              Db                       Db
All my tender problems, had to leave behind

Pre-chorus:
          Ab                       Ab
It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed
       Ab                   Ab
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Ab                   Ab
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
Ab            Ab
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
        Db                Db
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
Db                   Db
Still workin' all my life, you know
               Db              Db
Only God knows, only God knows
               Db
Only God knows

Chorus:
        Ab                Ab
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
                    Ab                   Ab
While I watch them ride with my fears away
                  Db           Db
To the summer sunset on a holy night
               Db                     Db
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

        Ab                Ab
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
                    Ab                   Ab
While I watch them ride with my fears away
                  Db           Db
To the summer sunset on a holy night
               Db                     Db
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

Verse 2:
        Ab                   Ab
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
                  Ab                  Ab
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
              Db                  Db
I got love to create on this holy night
           Db                      Db
They won't dim my light, all these years I fight

Pre-chorus:
          Ab                            Ab
It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed
       Ab                   Ab
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Ab                   Ab
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
Ab             Ab
Overworked and overwhelmed
        Db                Db
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
Db                   Db
Still workin' all my life, you know
               Db              Db
Only God knows, only God knows
               Db
Only God knows

Chorus:

On a long back road, all the tears I fight

Sixteen carriages drivin' away

Bridge:
        Ab                    Ab
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
        Ab                     Ab
Had to take care of home at an early age
      Ab                 Ab
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
       Ab                     Ab
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
          Db                         Db
The legacy, if it's the last thing I do
          Db                                  Db
You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
        Db                      Db
In your memory, on a highway to truth
               Db                        Db
Still see your faces when you close your eyes

Outro: Db

Ab                Ab

Ab
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
