Verse

AAAAGF#ED

You've long been on the o-pen road.

DDDDF#GA

You've been sleep-ing in the rain.

AAAAGF#ED

From dirt-y words and mud-dy cells,

F#GF#EDF#E

your clothes are smeared and stained,

AAAAAGF#ED

But the dirt-y words the mud-dy cells

DDDF#GA

will soon be judged in-sane.

AAAGEDD+D+A

So on-ly stop to rest your-self

F#GF#EDEF#E

and you'll be off a- gain.

Chorus:

AADDD+C#B

Then take off your thirst-y boots

AAF#EDGAG

and stay for a-while.

GF#F#AAF#EE

You're feet are hot and wear-y,

EF#GAE

from a dust-y mile,

AAAAAG+F#+E+D+

And may-be I can make you laugh.

ADDF#GAG

May-be I can try.

GF#AAAF#ED

Just look-ing for the ev-e-ning

EEEEF#EDD

for the morn-ing in your eyes.

Verse

Then tell me of the one's you've seen
as far as you can see.
Across the plains from field to town
a-marchin' to be free,
And of the rusted prison gates
that tumble by degree
Like laughin' children, one by one,
they look like you and me.

Chorus
