D                       Bm
Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key
 G                     Em       A7
That's what ol' John MacDonald said
D                      Bm
My rendezvous's so long overdue
     G                      Em             A7
With all of the things I've sung and I've read
F#m         Bm
They still apply to me
F#m            G
They all make sense in time

[Chorus]
            D        G  D
But now I'm incommunicado
Bm                         G           Em      A7
Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it
D               G  D
Songs with no vibrato
Bm         A7       D    Dsus D
Takin' the long way home

[Verse]
           D                   Bm
Now on the day that John Wayne died
        G                 Em         A7
I found myself on the continental divide
        D                  Bm
Tell me where do I go from here
           G                       Em         A7
Think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers
  F#m                      Bm
I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"
     F#m                   G
Can't believe the old man's gone

[Chorus]
             D        G  D
But now he's incommunicado
Bm                       G          Em   A7
Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed
D                     G    D
That a life with such bravado
Bm             A7        D     Dsus  D
Was takin' the right way home

[Verse]
           D                 Bm
So when I finished that last line
          G                     Em            A7
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
D             Bm    G         A7        D
Never wastin' time takin' the right way home
           D             Bm   G           A7        D
I know I'm never wastin' time findin' the right way home

[Chorus]
           D        G  D
Still I am incommunicado
Bm                    G          Em     A7
Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it
D                G  D
Life with such bravado
Bm            A7        D
Is takin' the right way home

I know I'm...
D
Tryin' to make it
Bm
Sometimes I fake it
G         A7      D
Tryin' to take it home

All I'm doing is...
D
Tryin' to make it
Bm
Tryin' to fake it
G         A7       D
Tryin' to take it home

            D        G  D
But now I'm incommunicado...
