I Sang The Song

F  Am7  G   C

[Verse 1]
          C      F       C
I could hear the highway callin'
        F                   C
Long before the road ran through
             F                Am7
Dreams are free and not much else is
           G             C
What else can a poor boy do?

[Verse 2]
          C         F         C
Calais, France, the Cliffs of Dover
        F             C
Name a city, I been there
       F                Am7
Women laughin', babies cryin'
            G             C
Sounds the same most anywhere

[Verse 3]
          C     F         C
Baptized in the old South River

             F               C
Three times forward I been blessed
       F               Am7
Just another young hillbilly
                 G                       C
Who would have thought, who could have guessed?

Gordon Lightfoot, A.P. Carter

Mother Maybelle, June and John
           F                Am7
It ain't braggin' if you've done it
          G                 C
Name the tune, I sang the song

[Verse 5]
            C        F      C
And now I'm old, no way to hide it
          F                C
Wouldn't care to truth be told
        F                Am7
Once a man and twice a child
            G             C
Well, I've got a hand to hold

Long before the road ran through
             F                Am7
Dreams are free and not much else is
           G              C
What else can a poor boy do?
             F                Am7
Dreams are free and not much else is
           G             C
What else can a poor boy do?
