Intro:  (D)  (C)   (D) (C)   (D)

It was (D) July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to Myrtle Beach
Just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
The honeymoon was over, and Alabama was far away

I got a (C) gig
Down at The Bow(D)ery
I played for (C) tips 
And watered (D) drinks
Just a (C) nov(G)ice in a (D) business
That's (G) sel(D/F#)dom (A) what (D) it (A) seems

And (G) where are you going (D) Tar Top
Where's J.(G)C. And The Chosen (D) Few
I saw the (G) Flash without T. Gen(D)try
And B.(Em)V. left for Malib(D)u

I was (D) July hot and thirty, some years down the line
When the Boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York, too
A farm boy who it thankful to be standin' in his shoes

But in The (D) Bowery hangs the mem'ries of (A) dreams that still come (D/A) true
Every time I see the spotlight
I'm (A7) one of The Chosen (D/A) Few (D)

And (G) where are you going (D) Tar Top
Where's J.(G)C. And The Chosen (D) Few
There's no (G) Flash without T. Gen(D)try
And B.(Em)V. where are (D) you

(C) Where are you goin' (D) Tar Top
Which dir(C)ection will you (D) take
What's this (G) countrabanded cla(D)mor
About the (G) mus(D/F#)ic (A7) that (D) you (A) make
(G) Where are you goin' (D) Tar Top
Is it (G) country en(D)ough
Is it cont(G/C)emporary gl(D)amour
(Em) No..it's (D) us
Just us...
