[Verse]
AFeel the southern breezes
and the Esouthern wind
GBlowin' down aDround the
corner Abend
At AD'Agostino's late last night I saw
A Eboy, fifteen, on the road
With Gnothing in the pocket
His Dhand to the sky, Anowhere else to go
Can you Asee it
  Eor believe it
To send the Gcorner manD  
He's never beenA  
So Acome with me, I'll show you where the
EDogwoods bloom, it's true
GLost and found and Dlost again
To the AHoneysuckle Blue

[Verse]
ARunnin' through these caverns of gold
Runs a Eriver of death indeed
An Gold hotel serves Das a shelter
for Achildren of the street
AAbandoned by the promised land
Set Esail on your own
GHow much longer Dwill the well
be Adry for those who roam
I got a Aticket
  Ein my pocket
to send the Gcorner manD  
He's never beenA  
AHave you ever seen the
Blue Ridge EMountains boy
or the GChatahootcheeD  
or the AHoneysuckle Blue
[Riff]
A    G    D    A
[Bridge]
ACall me to the Gpromised land
DStand aside to Aunderstand
AFar too close to Gsee things through
DOnce on edge and Aonce removed
ACall me to the promised land and Groll me down the road
  DRun down and leave me lying Aon the road alone
AIf you got time I'll take you through the Gtimes of love and war
DStand by my side and let it Aall run out to roar
Well, I Agot a dream and I got a love but it's Gstanding far too low
And I Dgot something to know again and Ait's all bound by law
Well, I'm Abound by law you running for and holding Gme all alone
DLost and found and lost again to the AHoneysuckle Blue
[Riff]

[Intro/Riff]

A G D A

[Verse]

Feel the southern breezes

and the southern wind

G D

Blowin' down around the

corner bend

At D'Agostino's late last night I saw

A boy, fifteen, on the road

With nothing in the pocket

D A

His hand to the sky, nowhere else to go

Can you see it

or believe it

G D

To send the corner man

He's never been

So come with me, I'll show you where the

Dogwoods bloom, it's true

G D

Lost and found and lost again

To the Honeysuckle Blue

[Riff]

A G D A

[Solo]

A E G D A

[Riff]

A G D A

[Verse]

Runnin' through these caverns of gold

Runs a river of death indeed

G D

An old hotel serves as a shelter

for children of the street

Abandoned by the promised land

Set sail on your own

G D

How much longer will the well

be dry for those who roam

I got a ticket

in my pocket

G D

to send the corner man

He's never been

Have you ever seen the

Blue Ridge Mountains boy

G D

or the Chatahootchee

or the Honeysuckle Blue

[Riff]

A G D A

[Bridge]

A G

Call me to the promised land

D A

Stand aside to understand

A G

Far too close to see things through

D A

Once on edge and once removed

A G

Call me to the promised land and roll me down the road

D A

Run down and leave me lying on the road alone

A G

If you got time I'll take you through the times of love and war

D A

Stand by my side and let it all run out to roar

A G

Well, I got a dream and I got a love but it's standing far too low

D A

And I got something to know again and it's all bound by law

Well, I'm bound by law you running for and holding me all alone
