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

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
