Harrisburg Josh Ritter
[Am]Romero got married on the [F]fifth of Ju[C]ly
In our Lady of Immaculate [G]Dawn
[Am]Could have got married in the re[F]vival man's [C]tent
But there ain't no re[G]viving what's [Am]gone
[Am]Slipped like a shadow from the [F]family he [C]made
In a little white house by the [G]woods
Dropped the [Am]kids at the mission, with a [F]rose for the [C]virgin
She knew he was [G]gone for [Am]good
It's a [C]long way to Heaven, it's [G]closer to Harrisburg
And [F]that's still a long way from the [C]place where we [G]are
And if [Am]evil exists it's a [F]pair of train [C]tracks
And the devil is a [G]railroad [Am]car
Could have [Am]stayed somewhere but the [F]train tracks kept [C]going
And it seems like they always left [G]soon
and the [Am]wolves that he ran with they [F]moaned low and [C]painful
sang sad mise[G]reres to the [Am]moon
(chorus)
[Am]Rose at the altar [F]withered and [C]wilted
Romero sank into a [G]dream
He [Am]didn't make Heaven, he [F]didn't make [C]Harrisburg
He died in a [G]hole in [Am]between
[Am]Some say that man is the [F]root of all [C]evil
Others say God's a drunkard for [G]pain
[Am]Me I believe that the [F]Garden of [C]Eden
Was burned to make [G]way for a [Am]train
It's a [C]long way to Heaven, it's [G]closer to Harrisburg
And [F]that's still a long way from the [C]place where we [G]are
And if [Am]evil exists it's a [F]pair of train [C]tracks
And the devil is a [G]railroad [Am]car
