Big Brown Bus chords by Ruston Kelly

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
     G                    D
Caught a big brown bus headed south out of San Antonio
   Em            D      C
In a gray suitcase I packed up everything I own
G                       D
Sun's comin' up while the bus tires sigh that highway moan
    Em                  D   C
Fell asleep and I dreamed I was king of the Texas rodeo


Prechorus:
      D     Em D C
I'm gettin' back to it now, slowly
     D
I'm gaining ground

Chorus:
 C   G       D        C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
  Em             D         C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
   G  Em  D
On a big brown bus
Em  D   C
All across Texas
   G  Em  D
On a big brown bus


Verse 2:
G                    D
All the lights over Juarez are hangin' orange and low
   Em              D   C
And I think about buyin' some dexedrine in Mexico
    G                    D
But I'm broke anyway so I'm just gonna stay and stick out the ride
    Em                 D       C
With a head full of blood, a mouth full of sand 'cause my throat is too dry


Prechorus:
      D       Em D C
And I might die on this highway, part of me
     D
Wishes I would


Chorus:
 C   G       D        C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
  Em             D         C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust

On a big brown bus, yeah
