[Verse]
A
Working on the road across this 
great big world
          E7
I've been rolling like a stone, I 
never get back home
               D7
Yes, I've been long-gone
    E7                          
And boy, I've got the Birmingham 
 A
Blues


[Verse]
A
Been across the ocean to the south 
sea isles
        E7
Yeah, I travelled to the east and 
west for mile and miles and miles
              D7
And I've been long-gone
    E7                          
And boy, I've got the Birmingham 
 F
Blues

[Verse]
  A
I wouldn't change the things I do 
for anything
             E7
But I'd just like to hear the 
message of the streets again
          D7
Give me a ticket
      E7                           
Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham 
F
Blues


[Verse]
   A
It may be kind of homely but it sure
 is sweet
  E7
Industrial Revolution put it on its 
feet
           D7
But it's a long, long way
E7                           F
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

[Verse]
     A
I'll go and stay awhile and all the 
folks I meet
                E7
They'll say "You won't stay long, 
you got them travelling feet
               D7
You'll soon be long-gone
     E7                           
'Cos boy, you got the rest of the 
F
world blues!"
