The Wanderer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[C]ent out walking through the
streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the [F]skin and bones
Of a city [C]without a soul
I [F]went out [G]walking under
an atomic [F]sky
Where the [C]ground [G]wont [C]turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye

[Verse 2]
Yeah I went [F]with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

[Verse 3]
[C]I went drifting through
the capitals of tin
Where [F]men [G]cant walk
[F]Or [C]freely talk
[G]And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where [A]the [G]citizens [C]like to sit
They say they want [F]the kingdom
[C]But they don't [G]want God in it

[Verse 4]
I [F]went out [C]riding[G]
Down [C]that ol' eight lane
I passed [F]by [C]a t[G]housand signs
[F]Look[C]ing for my own name
I went with [G]nothing

[Verse 5]
[G]But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

[Verse 6]
I went out [G]there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as [A]much
[G]As a [C]man can
Before he repents

[Verse 7]
I [C]went out searching,
lookin' for one [F]good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would [C]sit at his fathers right hand
I went [G]out walk[F]ing with a Bible [C]and a gun
[F]The wor[G]d of God lay heavy on my [F]heart
I [C]was sure I was the [G]one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, Ill be [F]home soon
Yeah I went [C]out for the pa[G]pers
Told her Id be back by [F]noon

[Verse 8]
Yeah I left [C]with nothing
[F]But the [G]thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
[F]Yeah I left with noth[C]ing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went [G]wandering
[F]
