Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Father, let us build a boat and sail a - way, there's nothing for you here,

And Brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea, it's been done be - fore!

I'm thinkin' 'bout a broken heart, I'm talkin' 'bout the break of dawn,

You've loved me while I'm here, then you can miss me when I'm gone,

Sweet misunder - standing, won't you leave a poor boy a - lone?

I'm the one - eyed seed of a tumbleweed, in the belly of a rolling stone,

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I had a little woman in Memphis, she wanted to be my bride,

She said, "Settle on down, travel - ing man, and you can stay right by my side!"

I tried so hard to please her, but I couldn't hold out too long,

'Cause, one Saturday night, I was laying in bed, and I heard that highway song,

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Now, one of these days, that highway song will lose it's appeal to me,

I'm gonna settle on down, like a natural born man,

I'm gonna live my life naturally, (Free and easy!)

Till that day, the thunder's gonna roll, and I notice there's a sign of rain,

So I grab my bags, and I pack my clothes, and I'm back on the road a - gain,

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I'm thinkin' 'bout a broken heart, I've been talkin' 'bout the break of dawn,

You've loved me while I'm here, and you can miss me when I'm gone,

And I said, sweet misunder - standing, won't you leave a poor boy a - lone?

'Cause I'm the one - eyed seed of a tumbleweed, in the belly of a rolling stone,

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Here I am again, Holi - day Inn, same old four walls a - gain,

Gee, but it's fine to be back home a - gain, woh now,

It's a Holi - day Inn, I'm on the road again! | /__/ /__/ / / | / ||
