| 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 re | vival man's tent, |
| G | Am | |
| There ain't no revi | vin' 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 miser | eres to the moon |
| (chorus) |
| 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. |
| (chorus) |
