[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C F A
Well, I said goodbye for that highway,
F C G
G A
I took you by the hand and I told you not to cry, but you did anyway.
F C F C
No you haven't lost me. Cause you’re an Eden to me.
F C F A
G G
Though I'm a first fallen leaf; merely a memory for those who sought me.
F F->A
So long Milwaukee.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C F A
F C G
Well, I headed west; Montana climbing, how the mountains look like fallen giants
overcome by
G A
All these things that I'm fighting.
F C F
C F C F
A G
And as I'm riding through these beautiful states, America shapes to the lonely feelings I'm
C
hiding, and I put in writing.
[Interlude]
F A F C G

[Verse 3]
C F->A F C
G
Oh, California, of an endless sun, and as it sets like days of old, all poor men's boats
turn to
G-- A F C
F C
gold. But I ain't got one. I just got these wheels, son, and tomorrow they will take me
with a
F C F A
G G A
load that will break me, and chance that I once had to ever stop them is long forgotten.
[Interlude]
F->C F C G
[Verse 4]
C F A
F C G
Oh West Virginia, you’re the song I'm singing, but your skyline of 10,000 pines is
like a bloody
A F->C F
C F
jagged knife slowly swinging, till summer brings in a new kind of hope that helps me to
C F A
G C
cope, 'cause I'm slipping from the rope to which I'm clinging...yeah, but I'm singing.
[Interlude]
F C F C G G
A F->C F A G
[Verse 5]
C F->A F
C G
Oh my Wisconsin, welcome me in. Don't let the snow fall by my side to gently remind me
A F->C F C
F C
that I cant' win and that I never will...that the stone I've been rolling, a rolling and rolling
A G
A F -> C
forever up the hill was meant for sinking. Now I've been drinkin. And the bottle's
caught me,
F C G
F F->A
I'm thinking I should go back home and live that simple life my father taught me...In old
F F->A F F->A
Milwaukee. Hello, Milwaukee.
