Intro G

              G
I've been walking at dusk just walking

With these lonely man's blues on my back
       C
I've been down to the well
                        G
And I've been to the Liberty Bell
         D        C
But it looks to be
            G
Getting a crack
                 G
And I've been talking about love just talking
   
And it seems like I don't get nowhere 
     C
So maybe I ought to go
          G
To just where I don't know
         D         C
But it looks to be
            G
Other than here

*chorus*
     D                              C                G
And if I was a lighthouse I would shine out on the ocean
 D                          C             G
If I was a train I would always run on time
D                            C                    G
Safely on their way I would send God's weary travelers
      D                             C                 
And when my time was done I would leave it all
G
Behind

                   G                         
Well I've been thinking about war just thinking

I've been beating my plowshares thin
     C
I sought my own redress
               G
I read the Gettysburg Address
         D
But old Abe it seems
    C             G
A hard road to win

                 G
And I've been playing my guitar just playing

And I'm running out of good things to say
       C
I saw what there was to see
                       G
And they give me a Bachelor's degree
        D                C
And I think it's time now
               G
That I was away
