Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Like a restless leave
in the autumn breeze
once, i was a tumbleweed
Like a rollin stone
cold and all alone
living for the day my train would come
I never cared for school
Or any golden rule
and Papa used to always say I was a useless fool
So I left my home
to show 'em they was wrong
and headed out on the road signin my song
Then one sunny day
the man he looked my way
and everything that I dreamed of it was real
Money, girls and cars
big long cigars
and i caught the first plane home so papa could see
----------------------------------------|
When I went home to show em they was wrong |
all that i found was two tombstones |
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong |
| CHORUS
first i got lost then i got found, |
but the ones that i loved are in the ground |
Dm
papa I only wish you could see me now |
----------------------------------------|
If there's any way
that you could hear what I say
Papa, I never meant to do you wrong
all the money, girls and cars
and all the world's long cigars
papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place

However, you can also use:
Adding the F is more true to the song in my opinion.
This doesn't apply to the chorus.
