Like a restless [Dm]leave
[G]in the autumn [Dm]breeze
[G]once, i [A]was a tumble[Dm]weed
[Dm]Like a rollin stone
[G]cold and all [Dm]alone
[G]living for the [A]day my train would [Dm]come
[Dm]I never cared for school
[G]Or any golden [Dm]rule
and [G]Papa used to always [A]say I was a useless [Dm]fool
[Dm]So I left my home
[G]to show 'em they was [Dm]wrong
[G]and headed out on the [A]road signin my [Dm]song
[Dm]Then one sunny day
[G]the man he looked my [Dm]way
and [G]everything that I [A]dreamed of it was [Dm]real
[Dm]Money, girls and cars
[G]big long [Dm]cigars
and [G]i caught the first plane [A]home so papa could [Dm]see
Dm |
When I went home to show em they was wrong |
G Dm |
all that i found was two tombstones |
G A Dm |
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong |
| CHORUS
Dm |
first i got lost then i got found, |
G Dm |
but the ones that i loved are in the ground |
G A Dm |
papa I only wish you could see me now |
[Dm]If there's any way
[G]that you could hear what I [Dm]say
[G]Papa, I never [A]meant to do you [Dm]wrong
[Dm]all the money, girls and cars
[G]and all the world's [Dm]long cigars
[G]papa i just want you to [A]know they couldn't take your [Dm]place
CHORUS
The chords for the verse as I listed them:
[Dm]
[G] [Dm]
[G] [A] [Dm]
However, you can also use:
[Dm] [F]
[G] [Dm]
[G] [A] [Dm]
Adding the F is more true to the song in my opinion.
This doesn't apply to the chorus.
