G 
There's thousand miles in back of me and many more to go 

                          C              G 
Riding on a freight train feeling mighty low 

G                                                         C 
I keep wonderin' why she quit me  but  I guess I'll never know 

                      G      D7             G 
Yes she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago 

  
 C                     G 
A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad 

D7                              C               G 
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had 

G                                                     C 
I know I shouldn't feel this way but I still love her so 

                  G                D7             G 
I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago 

  
G  
I know I've held her in my arms  a thousand times or more 

                                  C             G 
Promised her a world of love 'til I learned the score 

                                                       C 
That's why I'm feeling lonesome that's why I'm feeling low 

                      G      D7             G 
Yes she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago 

  
 C                     G 
A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad 

D7                              C               G

                                                      C 
I know I shouldn't feel this way but I still love her so 

                  G                D7             G 
I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago
