[Intro]
 Em   G     Cx3
[Verse 1]
Oh Miss MEmisty was a stGone-skinned galC  
Well she didn't stick arEmound in one town for too loGng
'Cause "too long is too loCng," she said
[Chorus]
And she said "I'll be goGne by moCrning
Don't come loGoking after Cme
Got to gGet back to that pClace I've never bAmeen
Never beCen beforGe"
[Verse 2]
T-Bone cEmity, up the 2G15C  
She traded in her daEmddy's old Packard Super 8 SeGdan
For a Vincent black ShCadow Machine
She opEmened him up, some fiGfty horses hot
FoaCming at their mouths in a dust cloud headed south
EmOn down the devil's backbone, dGown his crooked legs
"Fly ACway Old Glory" ringing in her head
[Chorus]
"I'll be gGone by morCning
Don't come loGoking after Cme
Got to Gget back to that pClace I've never bAmeen
Never bCeen beGfore"
[Interlude]
Em G C
[Verse 3]
The big magEmnolia down by BueGllers pondC  
In a hand me down sEmun dress and roper bootsG  
I could go on and Con
With my bEmolt action .22, I'd kGnock the blossoms down
MiCsty'd catch them in her skirt before they hit the ground
[Chorus]
"I'll be gGone by moCrning
Don't come loGoking after Cme
Got to Gget back to that pClace I've never bAmeen
Never bCeen beGfore"

[Intro]

Em G C

[Verse 1]

Em G C

Oh Miss Misty was a stone-skinned gal

Em G

Well she didn't stick around in one town for too long

'Cause "too long is too long," she said

[Chorus]

G C

And she said "I'll be gone by morning

G C

Don't come looking after me

G C Am

Got to get back to that place I've never been

C G

Never been before"

[Verse 2]

Em G C

T-Bone city, up the 215

Em G

She traded in her daddy's old Packard Super 8 Sedan

For a Vincent black Shadow Machine

Em G

She opened him up, some fifty horses hot

Foaming at their mouths in a dust cloud headed south

Em G

On down the devil's backbone, down his crooked legs

"Fly Away Old Glory" ringing in her head

[Chorus]

G C

"I'll be gone by morning

G C

Don't come looking after me

G C Am

Got to get back to that place I've never been

C G

Never been before"

[Interlude]

Em G C

[Verse 3]

Em G C

The big magnolia down by Buellers pond

Em G

In a hand me down sun dress and roper boots

I could go on and on

Em G

With my bolt action .22, I'd knock the blossoms down

Misty'd catch them in her skirt before they hit the ground

[Chorus]

G C

"I'll be gone by morning

G C

Don't come looking after me

G C Am

Got to get back to that place I've never been

C G

Never been before"
