Standard (EADGBE)

Like a restless leave

in the autumn breeze

once, i was a tumbleweed

Like a rollin stone

cold and all alone

living for the day my train would come

I never cared for school

Or any golden rule

and Papa used to always say I was a useless fool

So I left my home

to show 'em they was wrong

and headed out on the road signin my song

Then one sunny day

the man he looked my way

and everything that I dreamed of it was real

Money, girls and cars

big long cigars

and i caught the first plane home so papa could see

When I went home to show em they was wrong |

all that i found was two tombstones |

somebody tell me please was i right or wrong |

| CHORUS

first i got lost then i got found, |

but the ones that i loved are in the ground |

If there's any way

that you could hear what I say

Papa, I never meant to do you wrong

all the money, girls and cars

and all the world's long cigars

papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place

Chorus

The chords for the verse as I listed them:

However, you can also use:

Adding the F is more true to the song in my opinion.

This doesn't apply to the chorus.
