To Morrow Chords

(ver. 1)
Kingston Trio
[Intro]
C

[Verse]
                         F            C
I started on a journey, about a year ago
                                      G
To a little town called Morrow in the State of Ohio
     C                                     F             C
I've never been much of a traveller, and I really didn't know
                                      G           C
That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go

[Verse]
     Am               Em             Am           Em
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
    Am             Em            D            G
For tips regarding Morrow, not expecting to beguiled
     C                                F            C
Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return
                              G               C
No later than tomorrow, for I haven't time to burn"

[Verse]
                                  F                C
Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right
                                 G
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night
    C                                F              C
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
                                       G             C
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way

[Verse]
    Am              Em           Am                 Em
"If you had gone to Morrow yesterday, now don't you see
    Am                 Em           D               G
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
        C                             F           C
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right
                              G              C
Today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night"

[Verse]
                                          F                    C
Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat
                                    G
There is a town named Morrow on the line now tell me that"
       C                                 F            C
"There is," said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip
                               G             C
To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip

[Verse]
     Am             Em              Am        Em
"The train today to Morrow leaves today at 8:35
   Am              Em            D                G
At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive
   C                           F             C
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump
                                   G               C
Can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?"

[Verse]
                                       F          C
Said I, "I'd like to go to Morrow, but can I go today
                                 G
And get to Morrow by tonight, if there is no delay?"
       C                               F              C
"Well, well," said he to me, "and I've got no more to say
                                    G            C
Can't get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today"

[Verse]
     Am              Em               Am            Em
Said I, "I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say
    Am           Em          D                 G
How can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?"
     C                            F          C
Said he, "You cannot go to Morrow any more today
                                          G             C
'Cause the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way."

[Verse]
  Am          Em             Am            Em
I was so disappointed, I was mad enough to swear
    Am                Em             D                G
The train had gone to Morrow and had left me standing there
     C                                F               C
That man was right in telling me that I was a howling jay
                               G                  C
I could not go to Morrow, so I guess in town I'll stay
