Harrisburg

From Golden Age of Radio Words and music by Josh Ritter Am: x02210 F: 133211 C: x32010 G: 320033 (This is what I call the "one guitar version" of the song. Although in the recorded version Josh has some beautiful Spanish sounding guitar solos, I've found it to be unfeasible for one person to play it that way with the chords. Well, for a player of my skill at least.) (If people would like the tab for the solos, I could do my best at them, although tab isn't exactly my forte.) Am Intro: , first plucking the root note (5th string), and then strum the rest of the chord. It becomes clear when you listen to Josh do it on the album. Am F C Romero got married on the Fifth of July, G In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn. Am F C He could've got married in the revival man's tent, G Am There ain't no revivin' what's gone. F C Slipped like a shadow from the family he made, G in a little white house by the woods Am F C Dropped the kids at the mission with a rose for the virgin, G Am she knew he was gone for good. C G Its a long way to heaven, its closer to Harrisburg, F C G But that's still a long way from the place where we are. Am F C And if evil exists, its a pair of train tracks, G Am and the devil's a railroad car. F C Could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going G And it seems like they always left soon Am F C and the wolves that he ran with they moaned low and painful G Am sang sad misereres to the moon (chorus) F C Rose at the altar withered and wilted G Romero sank into a dream Am F C He didn't make Heaven, he didn't make Harrisburg G Am He died in a hole in between F C Some say that man is the root of all evil G Others say God's a drunkard for pain Am F C Me I believe that the Garden of Eden G Am Was burned to make way for a train, for a train. (chorus)
