Promised Land
Tom: A
Intro: A   
  
Ah, get on it!
  A                                                 D
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind.
  E                                                                 A
I straddled that Greyhound, and rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline.
A                                                                   D
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle, halfway across Alabam'.
          E                                                             A
Well that hound broke down and left us all stranded, in downtown Birmingham.
A                                                                         D
Right away I brought me a through train ticket, ridin' across Mississippi clean.
      E                                                                 A
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham, smokin' into New Orleans.
A                                                                       D
Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana, just to help me get to Houston Town.
E
There are people there who care a little about me,
                                A
and they won't let the poor boy down. Take it!
A                                                                  D
Sure as you're born they brought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hand.
      E                                                       A
And I woke up high over Albuquerque, on a jet to the promised land.
A                                                                  D
Working on a T-bone steak I had a party, flyin' over to the golden state.
E                                                                             A
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes he would set us at the terminal gate.
A                                                      D
Swing low chariot come down easy, taxi to the terminal zone.
E                                                                   A
Cut your engines and cool your wings, and let me make it to the telephone.
A                                                          D
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia, tidewater four ten o nine.
E     
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin',
                          A
and the poor boy's on the line.
A                                                                  D

                  C                G
    I'd trade 'em all for just one hour
      (F)(E) (D)   G7  C         <-- F, E and D are bass notes played on
    Of Su-san when she tried         the 4th string D||--3--2--0--||

    And it's bad in December
              F          G         C
    When they play those Christmas songs
              C                  G
    So if you ask me and I don't tell you
             F           G         C
    Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied
                   C              G
    'Cause there's never been one better
        (F)(E) (D)   G7  C
    Than Susan when she tried
               C
    No there's never been a woman
              F       G      C
    Who could make me weak inside
        C
    And give me what I needed
        (F)(E) (D)   G7  C
    Like Su-san when she tried
               C
    No there's never been a woman       <---- Begin fade out....
              F       G      C

    Today I stumbled from my bed
         F#
    With thunder crashing in my head
       G
    My pillow still wet
                    D      C/D
    From last night tears
        D
    And as I think of giving up
      F#
    A voice inside my coffee-cup
         G
    Kept crying out
                      C        A
    And ringing in my ears
              D
    Don't cry daddy
                        Em      A
    Daddy, please don't cry
           G                       A
    Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
      D                   G
    Together we'll find a brand new mommy
    D
    Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
    A7
    Daddy ride us on your back again
        G   F#m  Em  A7           D
    Oh, dad------dy, please don't cry
    Play Intro riff.....
    D
    Why are children always first
       F#
    To feel the pain and hurt the worst
         G
    It's true, but somehow
                       D        C/D
    It just don't seem right
           D
    'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know
       F#
    It hurts my little children so
      G                            C       A
    I wonder will it be the same tonight
              D
    Don't cry daddy
                        Em      A
    Daddy, please don't cry
           G                       A
    Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
      D                   G
    Together we'll find a brand new mommy
    D
    Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
