Tom : G
G
Trying to make myself a man
[Verse]
Am D
Left home when I was seventeen
G
Had my first love the next year
Am D
But she proved to be unfaithful
G
So I have cried my tears
[Verse]
Am D
I can't understand why
G
I left my home that day
Am D
I only know that I'm going back
G
But I can't pay my way
[Chorus]
Am D
Now my feet, they're so weary
G
And my legs can't seem to stand
Am D
I've been headed down this broad highway
G
Trying to make myself a man
[Instrumental]
G Am
D G (2x)
[Verse]
Am D
Ain't got the money for a cup of coffee
G
I ain't got money for no food
Am D
Last town that I travelled through
G
The people there said I were no good
[Chorus]
Am D
Now my feet, they're so weary, lord___
G
And my legs can't seem to stand
Am D
Maybe the next town I'm headed for
G
They'll try and understand
