[Verse 1]
D A Bm
Well I’m-a going back down maybe one more time
A Gsus2 D Dadd11
Deep down home, October road
D A Bm7
And I might like to see that little friend of mine
A Gsus2 D
That I left behind once upon a time

Dadd11 D A Bm7
Oh, promised land and me still standing
A Gsus2 D
It’s a test of time, it’s a real good sign

Let the sun run down right behind the hill
A A6sus D G
I know how to stand there still
A A6sus D G A A6sus G
‘Till the moon rise up behind the pine, oh Lord

D A Bm
It’s the big-time life that I can’t abide
A Gsus2 D Dadd11
Raise my rent, tan my hide
D A Bm
Sweet call of the countryside
A Gsus2 D Dadd11
Go down slow, open wide
D A Bm
I did my time and it changed my mind
A Gsus2 D
I’m satisfied, oh

[Verse 4]
A A6sus D G A A6sus D G
(I got so) I got so low down, fed up, my God, I could hardly move

Won’t you come on, my brother

Get on up

And help me find my groove
