I  don't  know where  I'm bound
 I don't know  where  I'm bound
 Whistles calling  me away
 leaving at  the break of day  and
 I don't know  where I'm bound
 Can't stand locks, bars or doors
 mean cops insanity and wars
 Gotta find a place of peace
 Till then much travellin' on seas
 but I don't know where I'm bound
 There's gotta be a place for me
 under some green growing tree
 clear cool water running by
 an unfettered view of the sky
 but I don't know where I'm bound
 When I die don't bury me
 cause then I must be free
 cremate my body with a grin
 throw my ashes to the wind
 cause I don't know where I'm bound
 I don't know  where I'm bound
 I don't know  where I'm bound
 Whistles calling  me away
 leaving at  the break of day  and
 I don't know  where  I'm bound
 Got myself a little gall
 she has been a damn right pall
 that ol' highway's calling me
 and free I gotta be but
 I don't know where I'm bound
 P.S. Not sure if it's the exact way played, feel free to give a listen and tweak to your
 If you have a better version please post. I've been looking for this song for a while,
 Thank You

[A5]I don'[D5]t know whe[A5]re I'm bound
I don't [A5]know w[D5]here I'm b[A5]ound
Whistles c[D5]alling me awa[A5]y
leaving [D5]at the break of da[A5]y and
I don't kn[A5]ow where I'm bound

Can't stand locks, bars or doors

mean cops insanity and wars

Gotta find a place of peace

Till then much travellin' on seas

but I don't know where I'm bound

There's gotta be a place for me

under some green growing tree

clear cool water running by

an unfettered view of the sky

but I don't know where I'm bound

When I die don't bury me

cause then I must be free

cremate my body with a grin

throw my ashes to the wind

cause I don't know where I'm bound

I don't k[D5]now where I'm bo[A5]und
I don't k[E5]now where I'm bo[A5]und
Whistles [D5]calling me aw[A5]ay
leaving [D5]at the break of d[A5]ay and
I don't k[A5]now wh[D5]ere I'm bou[A5]nd

Got myself a little gall
she has been a damn right pall
that ol' highway's calling me
and free I gotta be but
I don't know where I'm bound
