The Wanderer

Intro C C F

       C
I went out walking through the 
streets paved with gold
       F
Lifted some stones
       F
Saw the skin and bones
       C
Of a city without a soul
       C
I went out walking under an atomic 
sky
        F
Where the ground wont turn and the 
rain it burns
        C
Like the tears when I said goodbye

   Am               F
Yeah I went with nothing
   C               G
Nothing but the thought of you
       Am         F    C   G
I went wandering

I went drifting through the capitals
 of tin
Where men cant walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they dont want God in it

I went out riding
Down that ol eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name

I went with nothing
But the thought youd be there too
Looking for you

I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

I went out searching, lookin for one
 good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his fathers right 
hand
I went out walking with a Bible and 
a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my 
heart
I was sure I was the one
Now jesus, dont you wait up
Jesus, Ill be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her Id be back by noon

Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought youd be there too
Looking for you...
Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you...
I went wandering
