* OPTIONAL: There is also a little 
riff played before the chorus 
(leading into *Riff1)
by a second guitar, but its just C 
and Cadd9 picking only one or 2 
strings at a time.
again... listen to the song for the 
timing. its easy enough to play with
 one guitar and
it sounds good.


Intro: Fingerpicking C  Cmaj7

Verse 1:

C                         F      
 Roadsinger came to town; long 
       C
cape and hat.
C                 G         
 People stood and stared, then 
   C            G            C   
closed their doors, as he passed.
    Cadd9 C

C                              F 
 He strolled the empty street; 
                 C
kids banged on tin cans.
C                 G      C      
 Then the panting dogs began to 
G                       C     
bark, as the roadsinger sang.
Cadd9 C *Riff1


Chorus 1:

Am                G            D 
 Where do you go? Oh, where do 
  F                C
you go?  when hearts are closed
F                 Am                
*G-Riff                G
 When a friend becomes a stranger,  
nobody wants to know.

Am                G            D 
 Where do you go, where do you 
  F                     C
go,  when the world turns dark,
F                 Am             
 And the light of truth is blown 
    G        F         C        
out, and the roads are blocked?
Cadd9 C


Verse 2:

C                       F        
 He stopped by a store,  between 
                C
the barrels and sacks,
C                      G       C
 A child's face peeped out and 
      G              C     Cadd9 C
gave a smile, and ran back.
C                     F  
 Behind a misty glass, on a 
          C
window-pane,
C                G      C       
 A little finger drew a perfect 
G            C     Cadd9 C *Riff1
heart, and a name.

Chorus 2:

Am                G            D 
 Where do you go, where do you 
  F                       C
go,  in a world filled with fright,
F       Am                *G-Riff   
            G
 Only a song to warm you,  through 
the night?
Am                G            D 
 Where do you go, where do you 
  F               C
go,  after lies are told,
F                 Am             
 And the light of truth is blown 
    G         F        C     Cadd9 C
out,  and the night is cold?

Verse 3:

C                    F           
 Roadsinger rode on,  to another 
C
land,
C                  G       C    
 Though the people spoke a 
      G                   C      
different tongue,  they’d 
Cadd9 C
understand
C                              F 
 They showed him how to share,  
                   C
and took him by the hand,
C               G       C       
 Showed him the path to Heaven, 
G                   C       Cadd9
 through the desert sand.
 C *Riff1


Chorus 3:

Am                G            D 
 Where do you go, where do you 
  F              C
go,  to find happiness,
F           Am                  
*G-Riff         G
 In a world filled with hatred...  
and tears.
Am                G            D 
 Where do you go, where do you 
  F          C
go,  if no one cares,
F          Am          G  F    
 And everybody's lost,     
        C        Cadd9 C
Looking for theirs.
