Harrisburg 2

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.

 AmFC
  Romero got married on the  Fifth of July,  
 G
In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn.  
 AmFC
He  could've got married in the revival man's tent, 
 GAm
There ain't no revivin' what's gone.  

 FC
Slipped like a shadow from the family he made, 
 G
in a little white house by the woods  
 AmFC
Dropped the kids at the mission with a rose for the virgin,
 GAm
she knew he was gone for good.  

 CG
Its a long way to heaven, its closer to Harrisburg,
 FCG
But that's still a long way from the place where we  are.
 AmFC
And if evil exists, its a pair of train tracks,
 GAm
and the devil's a railroad car.  

 FC
Could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going  
 G
And it seems like they always left soon
 AmFC
and the wolves that he ran with they  moaned low and painful
 GAm
sang sad misereres to the moon  

(chorus)

 FC
Rose at the altar withered and wilted
 G
Romero sank into a dream
 AmFC
He didn't make Heaven, he didn't make Harrisburg
 GAm
He died in a hole in between  

 FC
Some say that man is the root of all evil
 G
Others say God's a drunkard for pain
 AmFC
 Me I believe that the Garden of Eden
 GAm
Was burned to make  way for a train, for a train.

(chorus)
