Hollies - Sweet Country Calling
INTRO: Am7 C G
Am7
Going down to take a ride on the Rock Island Line

I'm gonna meet an old friend of mine
Am7
It's gonna be a fine ride if only I can hide
G
From the man who guards the freighting line
Am7 C
I've got two thousand miles to go where I want to be
G D
Lady Luck stay with me
Am7
I wanna be there
D
I gotta be there
CHORUS:
G C
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
G
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
C
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
G
This time I'm gonna stay
BRIDGE:

The last time I saw her, she was waving me goodbye

That's why I'm playing with fate, riding this freight

I wanna be there

I gotta be there
