Intro:
D A G A D
Verse 1:
G A D
Here I am back on the road again
G A D
Don't it feel just like my old worst friend
G A D
The ne'er do well that a mother prays against
G A D
Jack Kerouac meets Huckleberry Finn
Verse 2:
G A D
Yes I know the ways of this old friend of mine
G A D
He's got some good intentions misinterpreted every time
G A D
Said "the road is long and winding" but what he really meant
G A D
Was the comfort you are seeking will not meet you at the end
Chorus 1:
G D
Gets me going like a fiddle tune
G D
Don't even know what my feet are doing
G A D
Hey, don't fiddlers earn their pay, OK
G D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G D
Half the fun is in the getting there
G A D
And once you figure that out you're on your way
Verse 3:
G A D
Oh, it's hot out on the road today
G A D
No cover, no cloud, no chance for escape
G A D
Except that 18 wheeler on the straight-away
G A D
So I pull up, match his speed and steal some shade
Chorus 2:
G D
Guess I got me the Gypsy virus
G D
No cure for the ramblin-itis
G A D
Except some asphalt and some days, fine days
G D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G D
Half the fun is just in getting there
G A D
And once you figure that out you're on your way
Guitar Solo:
G A D G G A D
Verse 4:
G A D
The road can give you fortunes that are yours to use or keep
G A D
Or it can take your very life if it lulls you off to sleep
G A D
But so can any style of life or friend that you might choose
G A D
So being dead and friendless, man that's the only way to lose
Chorus 3:
G D
Tomorrow shines like a gold doubloon
G D
You could have it if you wanted to
G A D
You just have to hold your mouth the right way, that's the way
G D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G D
All the fun is just the getting there
G A D
And once you figure that out you're on your way
Ending:
G A G A G A D G A D
Well I'd best be on, Well I think I'm on, I'm finally on my way
