Intro:

        Am [4 bars; bass enters 2nd bar, drums 3rd]

Verse 1:

           Am
        No one will understand
         G
        What I've gotta do
             Am
        I've gotta find a place to hide
                 C          E
        With my baby by my side

Verse 2:

        She's been hurt so much
        They treat her mean and cruel
        They try to keep us apart
        There's only one thing left we can do

Chorus 1:

                       A
        We gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to hide
         F#m
        Searchin', searchin', she'll be by my side
        D                        E [N.C.]
        If we gotta keep on the run
                         Am              D
        We'll follow the sun-ah    (whee-oo)
                   Am              D
        Follow the sun-ah    (whee-oo)

Bridge:

        C                                                  Am
          Doesn't matter, doesn't matter what people might say
        C                                       E   E+
          She's mine and I'm gonna take her anyway

Chorus 2:

        We gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to stay
        Searchin', searchin', every night and day
        If we gotta keep on the run
        We'll follow the sun-ah    (whee-oo)
        Follow the sun-ah    (whee-oo)
