[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Everybody's
afraid of dying
[C]Winding up alone
[G]Like a child needs a mother
Everybody [C]needs a [D]home
I guess
[G]Jimmy once belonged somewhere
He said [C]he'd go back home someday
[G]I shared my last beer with him
And [D]heard what he had to [G]say
A thou[C]sand [Em]miles I [C]drif
ted down the high[G]way
A thousand [Em]miles don't seem much
[C]when you keep moving [D]on
Stop to [C]rest when I [D]can
No one wel[G]comes a [D]traveling man
[Em]But I bet [C]they sleep much bet
[D]ter when I'm [G]gone[C][D][G]
He said, I guess it was my own fault
Although I [C]tried to do my best
[G]All I own is what I'm wearing
And all the whis[C]key took the [D]rest
[G]Now, son, I see you're a young man
You know I've [C]been as young as [G]you
Now you listen close to
Jimmy
Cause what old
[D]Jimmy says is [G]true
A [D]thousand [Em]miles I [C]drif
ted down the high[G]way
A thousand [Em]miles don't seem much
[C]when you keep moving [D]on
Stop to [C]rest when I [D]can
No one wel[G]comes a [D]traveling man
[Em]But I beg [C]to sleep much better[D]
when I'm [G]gone[C][D][G]
After leaving the bar that evening,
I [C]never saw
Jimmy again
[G]But if you ever meet someone like
Jimmy, make [C]sure to call [D]and friend
Cause [G]nobody deserves the
darkness of [C]be ing all alone
[G]So here's a song for all the jimmies
and I [D]hope they make it [G]home
A [D]thousand [Em]miles I [C]drifted
down the high[G]way
A thousand [Em]miles don't seem [C]much
when you keep moving [D]on
Stop to [C]rest when I can[D],
no one wel[G]comes a [D]traveling man
[Em]But I bet [C]they sleep much
bet[D]ter when I'm [G]gone
A thousand [Em]miles I'd [C]lift
you down the high[G]way
A thousand [Em]miles don't seem much
[C]when you keep moving on[D]
Stop to [C]rest when I can[D],
no one wel[G]comes a [D]traveling man
[Em]But I bet [C]they sleep much
bet[D]ter when I'm [G]gone
Oh yes, I [C]bet they sleep much
bet[D]ter when I'm [G]gone[D]
You
