Am
I am a wanderer
             C
Looking for escape
                 E
This road is too long
                  Am
I can't reach the gate
            Am
Some people tell me
                C
"Beware of your heart
                  E
The sun hits real hard
         Am
In these parts"
      C         E         Am
La da da, da da da, da da da


[Verse 2]
           Am
My body is aching
                    C
From the pain in my chest
               E
I can't get no rest
                 Am
It's cold and I'm shaken
                Am
My feet are all blistered
                 C
From walking too fast
                       E
Trying to run from the past
        Am
I don't miss her


[Chorus]
A                       Dm
Lonely and lost I can't find
                        G
My way through this big city
   C               A              Dm
Of blues that I've drowned myself in
                   E
I've got nobody to talk to
A                  Dm
Find me a lover or maybe a
               G
Friend who can give me
C             G              A
Directions to somewhere back East
       Dm
I am a wanderer
    E          Am
And this is my plea
      C         E         Am
La da da, da da da, da da da


[Verse 3]
              Am
Some woman suggested
               C
I come to your house
                       E
Don't know what you're about
                Am
Guess I'll find out
                  Am
She said you were sweeter
                    C
Than spring time in May
                     E
That perhaps I could stay
                    Am
'Til the blues fade away


[Chorus]
A
Hungry and thirsty
    Dm                           G
For something worthwhile, I will cling to
    C       A          Dm
Whatever salvation you throw
                     E
I've got no money to give, though
A                   Dm
Sing me a song of Bohemia
            G
Whisper the words
     C       G           A
Of a caravan lost out at sea
       Dm
I am a wanderer
    E          Am
And this is my plea


[Outro]
      C         E         Am
La da da, da da da, da da da
      C         E         Am
La da da, da da da, da da da
