Em Bm C G

[Verse 1]
Em C Em
The fire it stands a blazing wick, the smoke it pours out honey thick
Bm C G
Down in the lonesome draw, the moon's all snared in midnight's jaws
Em D C Em
The Kingdom of the great prairie, it's home to you and home to me
Bm C G
Born in waiting, hem and haw, shattered like ol' Dempsey's jaw.

[Verse 2]
Em G C Em
The Railroad men go pushing west, a scar laid out on mother's breast
Bm C G
What brings liquor and what brings gold, bears the young and saves the old
Em G C
It's a short time here and a long time gone,
C Em
the workmen sing the people's song
Bm C G
Down in the lonesome draw, the sun it bakes the rawhide raw

[Chorus]
C G D G
If you don't like Dodge you can always go to Abilene
C G D G
I hear the gettin's plenty and the grass is always green
G C G C G
Or you could always head to Kansas City where they pave all of their roads
C G D G
But the vices flow like the Ohio and the Governor's on parole
