Am

Intro: , first plucking the root note (5th string), and then strum the rest of the chord. It becomes clear when you listen to Josh do it on the album.

Am F C

Romero got married on the Fifth of July,

G

In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn.

Am F C

He could've got married in the revival man's tent,

G Am

There ain't no revivin' what's gone.

F C

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.

C G

Its a long way to heaven, its closer to Harrisburg,

F C G

But that's still a long way from the place where we are.

Am F C

And if evil exists, its a pair of train tracks,

G Am

and the devil's a railroad car.

F C

Could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going

G

And it seems like they always left soon

Am F C

and the wolves that he ran with they moaned low and painful

G Am

sang sad misereres to the moon

F C

Rose at the altar withered and wilted

G

Romero sank into a dream

Am F C

He didn't make Heaven, he didn't make Harrisburg
