[Verse]
                   D   D7              G
The trains used to run, all across Mexico
                     D       D7           G
Way down through the Yucatán, wherever in hell, ya know?
                   C                                 Bm
It was down in San Cristóbal, that I first heard the sound
                    Am                       D
Nina's voice on the jukebox, spinning darkly around
             C
And I was so lost down there
                Bm
Out of love and walking alone
              Am     D           G
But walking beside me was Nina Simone

[Verse]
              D             D7                G
Tonight in my dressing room, the teakettle rattles
            D            D7                     G
Water pipes dripping down on a plate of Spanish apples
                       C                             Bm
Outside in the freight yards, trains they rattle and moan
                        Am                D
It's just Hank Williams talking to Nina Simone
                    C
Yeah, we've been to hell and come back
                        Bm
Where love cut us right down to the bone
              Am     D           G
But walking beside us was Nina Simone

[Verse]
                 D                       D7               G
I've driven your highways and back roads, I rode the Grey Dog
                     D             D7                         G
Through the snow and sleet and hail, through the sunlight and through the fog
                           C                                    Bm
I've heard the ravens call morning up with their little raw saxophones
                   Am                D
But the darkest of ravens was Nina Simone
                  C
Now we've been to hell and come back
                        Bm
Where love cut us right down to the bone
              Am     D           G
But walking beside us was Nina Simone
