Eric Anderson Judy Collins Key: A 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4 You've long been on the o-pen road. 4 4 4 4 5 -5 6 You've been sleep-ing in the rain. 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4 From dirt-y words and mud-dy cells, 5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4 your clothes are smeared and stained, 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4 But the dirt-y words the mud-dy cells 4 4 4 5 -5 6 will soon be judged in-sane. 6 6 6 -5-4 4 7 7 6 So on-ly stop to rest your-self 5 -5 5 -4 4 -45-4 and you'll be off a- gain. Chorus: 6 6 4 4 7 -7 -6 Then take off your thirst-y boots 6 6 5-4 4 -56-5 and stay for a-while. -5 5 5 6 6 5-4 -4 You're feet are hot and wear-y, -4 5 -5 6 -4 from a dust-y mile, 6 6 6 6 6 -9 8 -8 7 And may-be I can make you laugh. 6 4 4 5 -56-5 May-be I can try. -5 5 6 6 6 5 -4 4 Just look-ing for the ev-e-ning -4 -4 -4 -4 5-4 4 4 for the morn-ing in your eyes. 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, harmonica interlude, chorus) |
