[Verse 1]~
         D           A               G
I stop to lean at the entrance to the highway

    D         Bm   A
On a leg of an underpass

          D                                  G
And it was there that George caught up with me

D        A           Bm      G           D
We drank his pint of freedom down the dream


[Verse 2]~
           A       G    C   G
I invest my soul in company

               D       A
I bet the big exchange

D                G      C     G
First of all for love of thee and

           D
Secon'all deranged


[Verse 3]~
                 A                 G
There ought to be something to fall back on

      D     Bm     A
Like a knife or a career

                D                                G
Oh,..!! heavy is the heart that bears a started life

      C     G       D
In the dying time of year

      C     G       D      G
In the dying time of year


[Bridge]~
         D        A            Bm         F#7
I left my pots and plans on the landlord's stove

    G             D           A     D   G
And was drove down through the Texas heat

E7                A
Threw my love out in the street


[Verse 4]~
D                      G    C
George is coloured and I am white

                D          A
And George could go for me

D                   G    C   G
George is wondering if I might

       D
Go for him


[Verse 5]~
A           Bm
Go to Louisiana

         D  Bm       A
Rocking a banjo on my knee

       D        G    A           Bm D G
After a man that said he'd go for me

D       A       Bm   G           D
George,..!! I'm all gone down the dream

George,..!! I'm all gone down the dream

George,..!! I'm all gone down the dream
