Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I was born a restless man,
I [E]do my living where I [Am]can
[E]An [Am]d any road or highway is my home
Here [Dm]today and gone tomorrow,
[Am]keeping just ahead of sorrow
[E]Knowing I was born to die [Am]alone
Left my home when I was ten to
try [E]to spread my wings
And then to [Am]learn about some
things I didn't know
[Dm]Labor crews and gandhi dancers
[Am]Taught me questions without answers
[E]I'll learn less the farther on I [Am]go
Hear the [E]sea
My destiny is calling me
[Am]Callin' me away to travel [Dm]on
The day I [E]die, I know that I will be [Am]alone
I go with the memory of [E]the many
-flavored wine of love
I've had [Am]the chance to taste
but never owned
[Dm]Though I know there's
no denying
[Am]Love's a pleasant way of dying
[E]I believe I'm born to die a[Am]lone
Nights I've drifted on the river
[E]Gazing at the stars so far [Am]above
And in the dark that is their home
[Dm]Life is like a lonely river
[Am]Drifting on it into never
[E]An d like every star I'm [Am]alone
Here the [E]sea of my destiny is calling me,
[Am]calling me away to travel on, [Dm]the day I die[E]
I know that I will be [Am]alone.

[Am][E][Am]
