Start Jamming...
You're a lonely
[G#m] [A] boy
[E] [Em]
[F#] [B]
You called from [A] Kansas City
You said I'm on the Missouri [E]
side
[C#m] She [B] said you [F#] had me worried
I was expecting [F#m] you tonight
[B] The [E] silence [F#] that followed
[B] Caused her heartbeat [C#m] to [B] race
[E]
So she got out [F#m] of bed
Her [F#] hands were trembling [A] as she said
For the next words [B] he would say
[E] [B]
Then her tears fell [A] on Missouri
Like rain [G#m] pouring
[C#m] down
[C#m]
[B] He just [A] called and told her
[E] About the new [C#m] love he'd [F#] found
[B]
[E] The children [A] lay sleeping
They [B] don't know their [C#m] daddy's [E] gone
[A]
[E] Then her tears fell [C#] on Missouri
[B]
From their little [E] Georgia home
[A] [G#m] [E] She said what about [A] our babies?
[E]
Don't you remember the day
[C#m]
The [B] doctor [A] gave them to you?
[F#] And your tears of joy fell on their face
[B]
[G#] You should have thought [A] of their [D#] feelings
[A] Cause it's [B] not just you and [C#m] me [G#m] alone
[E] [A]
[G#m] And what am I gonna [F#] say
To our angels when [A] they wake
And ask why dad's not [B] coming home?
[E] [B]
Then her tears fell [A] on Missouri
Like rain [G#] pouring [F#] down
[C#m]
[B] He [Bm] just [A] called and told [F#] her
About the new love he'd
[F#] found
[B] The [E] children lay [A] sleeping
They [B] don't know their [C#m] daddy's [B]
gone
[A] [N]
