Intro:
D
D G D
I started on a journey just about a year ago
Em A7
To a little town called "Morrow" in the state of Ohio.
D G D
I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know
G D A7 D
That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
Bm F#m Bm F#m
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
Bm F#m Em A7
For tips regarding Morrow, not expecting to be guyed.
D G D
Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return
G D A7 D
No later than tomorrow, for I haven't time to burn."
G D
Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right.
E A7
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
D G D
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
G D A7 D
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.
Bm F#m Bm F#m
"If you had gone to Morrow yesterday, now don't you see
Bm F#m Em A7
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
D G D
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right
G D A7 D
Today it gets to Morrow and returns tomorrow night"
Bm F#m Bm F#m
Said I, "I'd like to go to Morrow, co can I go today
Bm F#m Em A7
And get to Morrow by tonight, if there is no delay?"
D G D
"Well, well," I said to him, and I've got no more to say
G D A7 D
"Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today?"
Bm F#m Bm F#m
Said I, "I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say
Bm F#m Em A7
How can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?"
D G D
Said he, "You cannot go to Morrow any more today,
G D A7 D
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way."
Bm F#m Bm F#m
I was so disappointed, I was mad enough to swear
Bm F#m Em A7
The train had gone to Morrow and had left me standing there
D G D
That man was right in telling me, "You are a howling jay.
A D
You cannot go to Morrow." Well I guess in town I'll stay.
