Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  days when I rode on the wind
I'd  find a town, begin to look at life as green,
New  in town routine
Just  as I would settle in my
Feet  would hit the ground again while wondering,
for  a different scene
Now  my heels left the pedal feel  the motor between my toes
You  to think that I was something still  something I supposess
But  do you still see my silhouette when your lashes  start to close I'd like  to know, -i
Oh  Roberta, where have you gone
 All the nights when I'd be up to late
 And you'd catch me in my altered state of consciousness
 And I'd confess
 All my inner thoughts of fear and shame
 The way you spoke my name you'd boost my confidence
 like a soft caress
I'm  hear clear left of center on the unrideable  road
Wish  I knew the way that I was supposed  to go
But  I'm still the same old  fool you used to  know,
 Oh  Roberta where have you  gone
It's  been years since we said goodbye
Your  cheeks were wet, my mouth  was dry
And  I recalled I never seen you cry before
Haven't  seen you since I  walked out  your door
 Well life's been up and down since then
 I think its moving up again thats life I guess
 A long sting of tests
 I don't look for you in other
 People like I used to do thats dangerous
 And my soul needs a rest
And  I don't know what time it is or the town  I'm sleeping in
Pray  I might get frightened should I see your  face again
But  I turn back on my heels  and spin around
Oh  Roberta where are you  know
