The Wanderer

(intro) D

D
    I went out walking through 
streets paved with gold,
    G                              
    lifted some stones, saw the 
                  D
skin and bones of a city without a 
soul.

    D
    I went out walking under an 
atomic sky,
                G
    where the ground won't turn, and
 the rain it burns
              D
    like the tears when I said 
goodbye.
   Bm                 G     
   Yeah, I went with nothing, 
   D                          A
nothing but the thought of you,
           Bm        G A D
    I went wandering.

    D
    I went drifting through the 
capitals of tin,
           G                       
    where men can't walk, or freely
            D
 talk, and sons turn their fathers 
in.

        D
    I stopped outside a church 
house, where the citizens like to 
sit,

          G                        
    they say they want the kingdom,
           D
 but they don't want God in it.

   D
    I went out riding down that ol' 
eight lane,
   G                            
    I passed by a thousand signs 
  D
looking for my own name.
 Bm             G             
   I went with nothing, but the 
    D                      A
thought you'd be there, too,
                Bm  G A D
    looking for you.

D   G                       D
       I went out there in search of
 experience,
       Bm                       
    to taste and to touch and to 
  G
feel as much
D                   A            
    as a man can         before 
          Bm G A D
he repents.

   D
    I went out searching, lookin' 
for one good man,
        G
    a spirit who would not bend or 
break,
              D
    who would sit at his father's 
right hand.

   D
    I went out walking with a Bible 
and a gun,
         G                         
    the word of God lay heavy on my
               D
 heart, I was sure I was the one.

          D
    Now, Jesus, don't you wait up, 
Jesus, I'll be home soon,
         G                         
    yeah, I went out for the 
   D
papers, told her I'd be back by 
noon.
    Bm                G           
   Yeah, I left with nothing, but 
       D                     A
the thought you'd be there, too,
                Bm  G A D
    looking for you.
    Bm                G     
   Yeah, I left with nothing, 
   D                          A
nothing but the thought of you,
            Bm       G A D
    I went wandering.
