The Promised Land
recorded by Elvis Presley
written by Chuck Berry

C C
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
F F
California on my mind
G7 G7
I straddled that Greyhound and
C C
Rode him into Raleigh and on across Caroline


We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle
F F
Half way across Alabam
G7 G7
And that 'Hound broke down and left us all stranded
C C
In downtown Birmingham


Right away I bought me a through train ticket
F F
Riding across Mississippi clean
G7 G7
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
C C
Smoking into New Orleans


Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
F F
Just help me get to Houston town
G7 G7
There are people there who care a little about me
C C
And they won't let a poor boy down


Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
F F
They put luggage in my hands
G7 G7
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
C C
On a jet to the promised land


We stopped at Charlotte we by passed Rock Hill
F F
We never was a minute late
G7 G7
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown
C C
Rolling out of Georgia state


Working on a T-bone steak
F F
I had a party flying over to the golden state
G7 G7
When the pilot told us that in thirteen minutes
C C
He would get us to the terminal gate


Swing Low Chariot come down easy
F F
Taxi to the terminal door
G7 G7
Cut your engines and cool you wings
C C
And let me make it to the telephone


Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
F F
Tidewater 4-10-0-9
G7 G7
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land
C C
Calling and the boy's on the line
