Allison Moorer - Long Black Train
Capo: 3rd Fret
I've been walDking these mean streets,
Hard conGcrete beneath my Dfeet,
Ain't foDund a friendly face among the crAowd,
The city's liDke a Christmas tree,
A light for evGery dreamer's drDeam,
But it seDems mine has finA7ally burnt oDut,    
Chorus:
DLong Black TCrain take me hGome,
I've worn oDut my welcome here it's time to Ago,
DI have to face the music this just aGin't where I beDlong,
DLong Black TCrain take me hoDme,
I should've knoDwn I was mistaken,
When I thoGught that I'd be maDkin,
MDade for myself in babylAon,
Though I trDied to do my best,
The suits and tGies are not imprDessed,
So with what's leDft of my pA7ride I'll carry oDn,
Chorus:
DLong Black TCrain take me hGome,
I've worn oDut my welcome here it's time to Ago,
DI have to face the music this just aGin't where I beDlong,
DLong Black TCrain take me hoDme,
Bridge:
I'm goAnna trade my guitar for a tiDcket,
Then cBmlimb aboard and riGde you on down the trAack,
I kCnow I'm licked but it's hard to adDmit it,
DMaybe some day you can bring me A7back,
Chorus:
DLong Black TCrain take me hGome,
I've worn oDut my welcome here it's time to Ago,
DI have to face the music this just aGin't where I beDlong,
DLong black Ctrain take me Ghome,  
LDong black tArain take me Dhome
