G#m F#/A# B Lost John sitting on a railroad track G F# Something's out of wack G#m F#/A# B C#m7 Blues this morning falling down like hail B F# B Gonna leave a greasy trail Gonna travel the world is what I'm gonna do Then come back and see you All I ever do is struggle and strive If I don't do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive I'm the oldest son of a crazy man, I'm in a cowboy band Got a pile of sins to pay for and I ain't got time to hide I'd walk through a blazing fire, baby, if I knew you was on the other side Chorus: F# F#7 B Oh, I miss you Nettie Moore E And my happiness is o'er F# B Winter's gone, the river's on the rise D#7 I loved you then and ever shall E B But there's no one here that's left to tell B F# B The world has gone black before my eyes Well, the world of research has gone berserk Too much paperwork Albert's in the graveyard, Frankie's raising hell I'm beginning to believe what the scriptures tell I'm goin' where the Southern crosses the Yellow Dog Get away from these demagogues And these bad-luck women stick like glue It's either one or the other or neither of the two She say, "Look out, daddy, don't want you to tear your pants You could get wrecked in this dance." They say whisky'll kill you, but I don't think it will I'm ridin' with you to the top of the hill Chorus: Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore And my happiness is o'er Winter's gone, the river's on the rise I loved you then and ever shall But there's no one left here to tell The world has gone black before my eyes The bright spark of the steady lights Has dimmed my sights When you're around me all my grief gives way A life time with you is like some heavenly day Everything I've ever known to be right has been proven wrong I'll be drifting along The woman I'm a-lovin', she rules my heart No knife could ever cut our love apart. Today I'll stand in faith and raise The voice of praise The sun is strong, I'm standing in the light I wish to God that it were night Chorus: Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore And my happiness is o'er Winter's gone, the river's on the rise I loved you then and ever shall But there's no one here left to tell The world has gone black before my eyes You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A# C#m C#m7 D#7 E F# F#7 G G#m B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
