[Primeira Parte]

C                      G         F
Well I've been in this Junk Town most of my life
Am             G              F
Junkin' through many troubled years
C               G        F
Spending all my money on me and my junked-out wife
Am             G                     F
Trying to keep away those cold sweat fears
 
[Refrão]

    C      G
And glory, glory
       F
We are awaitin'
     Am    G    F
That sweet someday
        C         G
When we leave our troubles
    F
And are taken
C  G  F
So far away
 
[Segunda Parte]

        C               G      F
Well, I hate to see the winter bring that dreadful cold
 Am            G        F
It never did nobody any good
C                 G       F
Burning up in the summer, hauling those heavy loads
    Am            G                F
And heaven knows, I'd quit it if I could
 
[Refrão]

    C      G
And glory, glory
       F
We are awaitin'
     Am    G    F
That sweet someday
        C         G
When we leave our troubles
    F
And are taken
C  G  F
So far away

[Terceira Parte]

C                  G         F
Sometimes when I'm drinking, I sit alone and wait
Am             G                 F
For the sun to fade out from the sky
   C             G       F
And I wish I was leaving to find another fate
 Am               G                  F
And all the while knowing where I'll die
  
[Refrão]

     Am    G    F
That sweet someday
        C         G
When we leave our troubles
    F

C  G  F
So far away
C  G  F
So far away
