Start Jamming...
I should do one more.
[D] Is there anything you want to hear?
Yeah, all right.
The [G] [N] thing is about this song, the thing is about this song,
when, I mean, I'm still a young man,
and I'm permanently a young man.
No matter how I start to look, I'm still 20, right?
But when you are a young writer, boys
get this idea that to really show a woman the depth
and purity of your love, what you have to do
is something drastic and stupid, right?
And young writers think it would be really intense to have
a guy always harm himself real bad,
and then tell these stories.
And so, well, I was a young writer once,
and here's a song about a guy who
[D] travels someplace with a gun.
The
[G]
[D]
[A] [G]
[D] most remarkable [A] thing about coming home to you
is the feeling of being [G] in motion again.
[D] It's the most extraordinary [A] feeling in the whole [G] world.
I
[D] have two big hands [A] and a heart pumping blood,
and [G] a 1967 Colt 45 [D] with a busted safety catch.
[A] [D]
The [A] world shines [D] as I cross the [G] Macon county line [D] going to Georgia.

[D] The most remarkable thing [A] about coming home to you.
Wait, that's [D] not even it.
Oh, the most remarkable thing about you
[A] standing in the doorway is [G] that it's you.
And that you're standing in the doorway
[D] and you smile when you ease the gun from [A] my hand.
[G] And I'm frozen with joy right where I stand.
[A] The world froze.
It's the light underneath your hair.
[D] 40 miles from Atlanta, [G] this is nowhere.
Going [D] to Georgia.
