G                         Em
If you miss the train I'm on
         Am                C
Then you know that I'll be gone
         Am           C               D
Lord I’m five-hundred miles away from home


[Verse 2]

         G             Em            Am              C
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
         Am           C               D
Lord I'm five-hundred miles away from home


[Chorus]

    G          Em         Am         C
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
         Am           C               D
Lord I'm five-hundred miles away from home


[Verse 3]

      G           Em          Am          C
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
       Am       C           D
Lord I can't go home this-a-way
       G           Em          Am          C
This-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way,
         Am           C               D
Lord I'm five-hundred miles away from home


[Chorus]

    G          Em         Am         C
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
         Am           C               D  G~
Lord I'm five-hundred miles away from home
