VERSE:
 
   F                          C 
You have watched the storm clouds roll 
         F                  C 
Past the lighthouse and the shore 
  F                     C 
Beyond the breakers they do go 
     F                    C 
Where they'll end up I don't know 
       F                    C 
And when this weather finally breaks 
      F                     C 
I wanna feel the sun upon my face 
    F                C 
Although many things will change 
      F                C 
That is one which stays the same

   C         G      F 
And all the tears I've cried 
          C                   G       Em           F 
If I can make it there, I'll see you on the other side 
 C     G    F 
All I never learned 
          G 
Cause I'm a thousand miles from Atlanta 



Beneath a thousand pounds of hurt 

VERSE:
 
In this desert where I sleep 
You wait for rain like it's make believe 
Where I'm from, the earth she bleeds 
Dark red clay beneath my feet 
And if I'm forced to travel on 
And end up further from my home 
To live forever here alone 
Well I don´t think I'll last this long 


[Refrão]


   C         G      F 
And all the tears I've cried 
          C                   G       Em           F 
If I can make it there, I'll see you on the other side 
 C     G    F 
All I never learned 
          G 
Cause I'm a thousand miles from Atlanta 



VERSE:
 
Seems this road just does not end 
And I am dead to all my friends 
If I could compromise or bend 
Perhaps I might be born again 
And as I wait for shooting stars 
On a night that's painful dark 
I fall asleep in moving cars 
When I wake up I won't care where we are 


[Refrão]


   C         G      F 
And all the tears I've cried 
          C                   G       Em           F 
If I can make it there, I'll see you on the other side 
 C     G    F 
All I never learned 
          G 
Cause I'm a thousand miles from Atlanta
