I got tired of living in that one horse [G] town.
[A] Went to that station, flagged that hummingbird [D] down.
I didn't even call to say goodbye.
[G] _
I couldn't stand to see that little girl [C#] crying [D] down.
Off to the city, gonna make my [D#] name.
[E] Those lights were calling me to fortune and fame.
[A] I had to ride _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] hummingbirds.
_ Just _ let me _ ride [D] that _ [A] _
hummingbird. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm gonna make it now just any day.
I got my guitar and I came to play.
I'm here alone knowing what I lost.
My heart keeps asking was it worth the cost.
[D] Now ain't it funny how it always seems
[E]
Once you're standing there the grass ain't so green.
I [A] had to ride _ that [D] _ _ [A]
hummingbird.
_ _ _ _ Why did I ride that _ _ _ _ hummingbird?
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
Today she called me on the telephone.
She [E] said, hey country boy, you've been gone too long.
And [D] now I'm standing at the station _ looking down the line.
[B]
Here comes that hummingbird, she's right on time.
