Start Jamming...
[N] This incident [F] occurred several miles outside [D] of Rapid City, South Dakota.
[F]
Used to ragged kid [Bb] in overalls, he thumbed a [F] ride one day.
[Bb] He told me anywhere you're going is on the [C] way.
But as we [F] passed by big Al's drive-in, his eyes began to flash.
[Bb] He was leaving Rapid City
[C] mighty fast.
He said, I [Bb] hope to God she finds the goodbye [F] letter that I wrote her.
But the [C] mail don't move fast in Rapid City, [F] South Dakota.
He left just a [Bb] blanket of snow [F] upon the farm.
And that don't keep your conscience [C] very warm.
[F] He said his friends were too darn [Bb] country.
And his [C] pa was too damn [F] mean.
And there [Bb] weren't no money pumped in [C] gasoline.
And her [Bb] generalized merchandise, the [F] dreams of penniless soldiers
[C] who left her there alone in Rapid [F] City, South Dakota.
Take it away.
[Bb]
[F]
[C]
[Bb] [F]
The reason he was going, I ain't sure I could say.
[Bb] Might have been the [G] rodeo in Santa [C] Fe.
There's a [F] doctor in Chicago.
I know she'll be all right, he [Bb] told himself as he stared into [C] the night.
He said, [Bb] I hope to God she finds the goodbye [F] letter that I wrote her.
But [C] the mail don't move fast in Rapid [Bb] City, South [F] Dakota.
And [Bb] all her people greet her just [F] like they never know her.
And the [C] winter's passing slow in Rapid [Bb] City, [Am]
[C]
South [F] Dakota.
