He had three [C] old dollars, [B] a one hour car, the [E] wife was leaving [Am] for good _ .
_ Life's made of [C] trouble, _ [D] worry, pain and struggle, she broke her bow in the dust [E] and mud _ .
[Dm] Found a map of Missouri, [A] lipstick [Am] on the glass, [D] they must have [G] left in the middle [E] of the _ night.
_ [D] _ I [E] _ want to know [A] the same thing, _ _ everyone [Dm] wants to know, _ [E] how's it going, _ [Am] she went.
_ [A] Behind _ _ a smoke [C]-colored curtain, [E] the girl [A] disappeared, they found out that the ring was a fake _ _ .
A tree-born [C] crooked, _ [Dm] never grows straight, she's [E] sunk like a hammer into the lake _ .
_ [A] _ Long lost letters in the old leaky boat, _ promises [Gm] I never [E] meant to keep.
_ _ [Dm] _ I [E] _ want to [Db] know [A] the same thing, _ I want to know, [D] _ _ [F] _ [E] how's it going, _ [Am] to the end _ _ _ _ _ .
The barn [G] leaned over, the folks who dried their [D] wings, [A] the moon climbed up an empty sky _ .
The [G] sun sank down, behind the tree [D] on the hill, there's a killer [Bb] that's coming to the [E] ride _ .
[D] Maybe it's the [N] father that lost the girl, _ it's hard to tell in [E] this light _ .
_ [G] [D] I _ _ [A] _ want to know the same thing, _ _ everyone wants [Bb] to [Dm] know, _ [E] how's it going, _ .
[Am] to the end.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ .
[D] _ _ [Dm] Haggard wagon, they plow the bones of the dead, [N] dial them on the roses and the weeds _ .
You can never go back, and the answer is no, [G] wishing for it only [E] makes it _ bleak.
_ _ [G] _ [Am] Joe told [C] Betty, [D] it was broken on a wheel, she [E] ain't the bumber-honey [A] on the land.
_ The green was his [C] gold, [D] and Sheila's hair, all the way [E] from Liverpool, with all we could steal.
[N] He was robbed of twenty dollars, his body found stripped, cast into [E] the harbor there and drowned.
_ _ [Dm] And I [Ab] want _ to know [Am] the same thing, _ we all want to [D] know, _ [Dm] how's [E] it going, _ [Am] to the end _ _ _ _ .
_ _ The sirens are [C] snaking, [D] their way up the hill, [A] it's the last call somewhere in the world.
_ _ Reptiles blend in, with the curve of the street, life is sweet at the edge [E] of a razor.
_ _ [D] Down in the first row, an old poetry show, the old man is asleep, [E] the credit starts to roll.
_ _ And I want [Dbm] to know the [Am] same thing, we all want to [D] know, _ [F] how's [E] it going, [Am] to the end.
_ _ _ _ [E].
[Am] I [Dm] _ _ _ [E] want to [A] know the [B] [Am] same thing, _ we all want to [D] know, _ [Dm] _ [E] how's it going, _ [G].
[A] to the end.
_ _ _ _ [B] [Dm] And I _ [E] just [A] want to know the [Am] same thing, _ _ [C] I want to [Dm] know, _ _ [E] how's it _ going, [Am] to the end.
