Tom : Am
Am G/B C G/B Am F C G F G
[Verse]
N.C. Am G/B C
I was just a kid of sixteen
G/B Am
I wasn't even grown
F C
Looking for a new direction
G F G
A road to call my own__
Am G/B C
And I found it in the songs of Woody Guthrie
G/B Am
Of the lost and dispossessed
F C
I found it in the arms of the night-time girls
G F G
Who held me to their breast
[Instrumental]
Am G/B C G/B Am F C G F G
[Verse]
Am G/B C
I did not care for fortune
G/B Am
I did not care for fame
F C
I threw away a lot of kindness
G F G
I only have myself to blame
Am G/B C
For there were some who gave me shelter
G/B Am
And some who eased my way
F C
But no matter what they offered
G F G
They could never make me stay
[Chorus]
F G
It was all I ever wanted
C F G
All I ever knew
F G
To ride that endless highway
C F G
And sing my songs for you
[Instrumental]
Am G/B C G/B Am F C G F G
[Verse]
Am G/B C
And some will make you promises
G/B Am
But that doesn't make it true
F C
Nothing is for nothing
G F G
You have to pay your dues
Am G/B C
And now my pocket's empty
G/B Am
And the reckoning is made
F C
I owe nobody nothing
G F G
'Cause every bill is paid
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
Am G/B C G/B Am F C G F G
[Verse]
Am G/B C
I've not made it yet to journey's end
G/B Am
But I know the day will come
F C
When I look down that endless highway
G F G
And I turn and head for home
Am G/B C
And I'll pass the dream to someone new
G/B Am
And help them on their way
F C
I'll shake their hand and wish them well
G F G
And watch them walk away
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Am G/B C G/B Am F C G C F G Am
