The Wanderer

[G]

G       I went out walking through street paved with gold
C       Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a
G       City without a soul
G       I went walking under an atomic sky, where the
C       Ground won't turn and the rain it burns like the
G       tears when I said goodbye

Em      Yeah I went with  C  nothing
G       Nothing but the thought of you
[D]       I went wan-  [Em]  der -ing  [C]   [D]   [G]

G       I went riding down that old eight lane. I
C       passed by a thousand signs
G       looking for my own name
Em      I went with  C  nothing but the thought
[G]       You'[D] be there  [D]  too, looking for  [Em]  you  [C]   [D]   [G]

C       I went out there in
G       Search of experience, to taste
Em      and to touch  C  and to feel as much
[G]       as [A] man can  [D]  before he repents  [Em]   [C]   [D]   [G]

Em      Yeah I left with  C  nothing
G       Nothing but the thought of you
[D]       I went wan-  [Em]  der-ing  [C]   [D]   [G]   [C]   [G]  etc

I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it
I went out riding
Down that old eight lane etc

I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
