Chords for Rodney Crowell - "The Long Journey Home" (eTown webisode #642)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] E-Town is a lot of fun, [N] a whole lot of fun.
The infamous String Dusters, [E] Nick and Helen, and you know, the E-Tones. _
Got to play a lot of music with some really good people.
You know, E-Town, you know, there are a few of those long-standing [D#]
radio shows, you know, which is radio shows.
I mean, that's the golden era [F#] of entertainment as [D] far as I'm concerned.
Something about [N] radio triggers your imagination more than television does, I think.
You know, and there's the Grand [D#] Ole Opry and there's E-Town.
You know, the number is [F#] _
not [Dm] that large.
[B] And [D] those long-standing radio shows, there's just [E] something about it, it just gets [F#] into the fabric [D] of _ life.
[F#] And [A] I like being part of it.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We ran off chasing rainbows _ beneath the blue Montana sky _
[Bm] And we self _ [A]-proclaimed our freedom with [D] a roar
We _ _ _ _ crossed those raging rivers [A] and we drank the taverns dry
_ [Bm] And we bowed our heads [A] to legends [D] gone before
_ _ _ _ Are [G] you ready for [A] the long [D] journey home?
_ _ _ _ _ [G] The floodlands, swamps, [E] and fires in [D] your bones
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] The simple [A] life tastes sweeter now
[D] You have no [G] need to roam
Are [D] you ready for [A] the long journey [D] home?
_ _ _ _ The wind down off the _ _ Yellowstone [A] blows coal trains off their tracks
_ [Bm] And the water springs [A] eternal [D] from the fire
_ _ _ _ _ And eagle flies at sunrise across [A] sand that's been _ groven back
_ _ [Bm] And the moonlight _ [A] brings a blue coyote [D] choir
_ _ _ _ Are [G] you ready for [A] the long journey [D] home?
_ _ _ _ _ [G] The floodlands, swamps, [A] and fires in [D] your bones
_ _ _ _ _ [G] The simple life [A] tastes sweeter now
[D] You have no need [G] to roam
Are [A] you ready for the long journey [D] home?

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ In dreams of mile-high cotton [A] fields where once a red barefoot threw
_ _ [Bm] My dead drunk [A] Uncle _ Fireball [D] browsed these woods
_ _ _ _ Blood don't make you [A] a family boy [Bm] and I've got news [A] for you
[Bm] But _ rattlesnakes [C#m] don't sing like [D] speckled birds
_ _ _ Are [G] you ready for [A] the long journey [D] home?
_ _ _ _ _ [G] The floodlands, swamps, [A] and fires in [D] your bones
_ _ _ _ [G] The simple life [A] tastes sweeter now
[D] You have no need [G] to roam
Are [D] you ready for [A] the long journey [D] home?
