[Verse 1]
Am F C
Romero got married on the fifth of July
G
In Our Lady of Immaculate Dawn
Am F C
Could have got married in the revival man’s tent
Am G Am
But there ain’t no reviving what’s gone
Am F C
They 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
[Chorus]
C G
It’s a long way to heaven, it’s closer to Harrisburg
F C G
And that’s still a long way from the place where we are
Am F C
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
G Am
And the devil is a railroad car
AM F C G Am C G Am
[Verse 2]
Am F C
Could have stayed somewhere, but train tracks kept going
G
It seems like they always left soon
Am F C
And the people he ran with, they moaned low and painful
G Am
Sang sad misereres to the moon
[Chorus]
C G F
It’s a long way to heaven, it’s closer to Harrisburg
C G
And that’s still a long way from the place where we are
Am F C
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
G Am
And the devil is a railroad car
AM F C G Am F G C Am
[Verse 3]
Am F C
Rose at the altar, withered and wilted
G
Romero sank into a dream
Am F C
He didn’t make heaven and he didn’t make Harrisburg
Am G Am
He died in a hole in between
Am 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
A Em Am
Was burned to make way for a train
[Chorus]
C G F
It’s a long way to heaven, it’s closer to Harrisburg
C G
And that’s still a long way from the place where we are
Am F C
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
G Am
And the devil is a railroad car
Am G C G Am C G Am A
