More chords by Josh Ritter

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
G Am
He died in a hole in between
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
G Am
Was burned to make way for a train, for a train.
