[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Eb] I'm going [Bb] [F] away
[Eb] Cuz I got [Bb] a busted heart
I'm leaving [F] today
This [Bb] [Eb]
old travel [Bb] all will stop
[Gm]
I reckon where [Eb] I'm going
[F]
Might need my [Bb] different clothes
[Eb] Way up [Bb] in [F] Michigan
[Eb]
With a life [Bb] I never loved
20
[Eb] years in [F] the minor leagues
[Eb] Ain't no place I didn't [Bb] go
Well [Eb] I [Bb] got [F] a few hits
[Eb] But I never made the [Bb] show
[Gm] I could hang on [Eb] for a few [F] years
Doing what I've [Bb] done before
Just [Eb] wanna [Bb] let that [F] laughing river
[Eb]
Flow right [Bb] outside my door
[Eb] My [F] cousin Ray
He [Bb]
[Eb] said he's got a [Bb] job for me
Where
[Eb] [Bb] the houses [F] are still cheap
[Eb] He said he knows this [Bb] nice lady
[Gm] He said she even [Eb] saw me play once
He [F]
said she smiles [Bb] at my name
Well up on the [F] laughing river
[Eb] Might be a whole [Bb] new game
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Eb]
[Bb] [Gm]
[Eb] [F]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Eb] So [Bb]
goodbye [F] to the bus
[Eb]
Goodbye to the [Bb] paying dues
Goodbye [F] to the cheers
[Eb]
Goodbye [Bb] to the [Gm] booze
I'm trading [Eb] in this old [Bb] [F] bag
For [Bb] fish and pole
[Eb] Let [Bb] that [F] laughing river
[Eb] Flow right into [Bb] my soul
Cuz I'm going [F] away
[Eb] Cuz I got a [Bb] busted heart
[Eb] I'm [Bb] leaving [F] today
So [Eb]
travel [Bb] on with style
[Gm]
I reckon where [Eb] I'm headed
[F]
Might mean a different [Bb] clothes
[Eb] Way [Bb] up in [F] Michigan
[Eb] With a laughing river [Bb] flow
[Eb] Way [Bb] up in [F] Michigan
[Eb]
With a laughing [Bb] river flow
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Eb]
[Bb]
