[Gbm] [A]
[D] [A]
[Bm] [A]
I got on the bus in Memphis, destination Rome.
But Georgia ain't [D] no paradise, [A] a place I could call home.
[D] I sat [A] next to a broken [Bm] hearted brat.
[D] She was crying, [A]
trying [Am] so [Bm] hard to hide her [A] selfish sorrow.
[D] [A] I tried to get [D] her talking, [A] she didn't have much to say.
[D]
[A] They asked me for a map to death row, but I didn't know the way.
[D] She had [A] lost a million [Bm] in the game.
[D] Wouldn't look out [A] my window [Am] to find trees [Bm] in the rain.
It wasn't [A] her day.
Oh, [E]
smoky colored lady, [D] you ain't like no [G] rainbow [Ab] I've [A] ever seen.
[D] [E] Smoky colored lady, [D] angry red, passion blue, [G] but mostly [A] shades of green.

[A] [E] [Bm] [D]
[A] [Am] [Bm] [A]
Midnight came and brought more rain, nothing seemed to ease her pain.
I was down [D] way tall, seemed [A] like minutes only thing.
[D] I watched her in [A] those tears keep running [Bm] wet.
She cried [D]
and cried [A] and [C] wept, [Bm] after a while she [A] said smiling.
[E]
Smoky colored lady, [D]
you ain't like no [G] rainbow [Ab] I've [A] ever known.
[E]
Smoky colored lady, [D] come go with me, [G] I'll take you [A] to my home.
[G] Oh, by the way, I'm [A] bound for Rome.
[G] [Bm] [Em] [A]
