[C]
[G]was[D] bo[Dm]rn a[D] poor man's son, and followin' tradition
When I came of age I hit the road,
and [C]followed blind ambi[D]tion
I served my time and payed my dues,
now I'm sittin' pretty
Sleeping in a feather bed
[C]high above [D]this city.
[G]It's four in the morning,
and I'm sittin' here still thinking
[Dm]Our love's on the borderline,
I know this ship is sinking
[E]I still remember when we talked abo[G]ut the Southern
[D]Cross a long [Dm]time [D]ago[Dm][D]
[G]Look through my window and I watch
the cold rain fallin'
[Dm]Somewhere in the distance
I can hear a siren callin'
[E]Is this a wilderness or just another statio[G]n on the[D]
Rock Island [Dm]Line?[G][D][Dm][D]

[D][Dm][D]
When I first came to this town
with sweet anticipation
My days were filled with music,
and my [C]nights with conversation
[D]I didn't worry,
didn't care which way the wind was blowin'
Yes there was magic in the air,
and [C]music kept on flow[D]in'.
[G]I was a superman ridin' on a river
[Dm]She always wanted so much
more than I could give her
[E]I still remember everytime we said goodbye
[G]when I was [D]back [Dm]on t[D]he road
[G]I was a rhythm man,
now I'm a local hero
[Dm]I still remember when my
luck was down to zero
[E]Right now I sit and wonder why nobody eve[G]r comes to [D]knock on [Dm]my do[D]or.[Gm]

Now life is bitter, life is sweet,
life is what you make it
Your love makes my life com[Dm]plete,
and [C]I just can't for[D]sake it
The time has come to travel on,
yes now the days I'm countin'
We're goin' back to where we come from,
gonna [C]live on some old [Dm]mountain.
[G]It's four in the morning,
and I'm sittin' here still thinking
[Dm]Our love's on the borderline,
I know the ship is sinking
[E]I still remember when we talked about
the South[G]ern [D]Cross a long [Dm]time [D]ago
[G]I was a rhythm man, now I'm a local hero
[Dm]I still remember when my
luck was down to zero
[E]Is this a wilderness or just another statio[G]n on the[D] Rock Island
