[intro]

     Em        Em         Em           Em
Well it's not hard to see, anyone who looks at me
      C(9)        C(9)          C(9)          C(9)         G          G
Knows I am just a rolling stone, never landed anyplace to call my own
    D/F#      D/F#
To call my own

       Em             Em       Em              Em
Well it seems like so long ago, but it really ain't, ya know
  C(9)          C(9)      C(9)        C(9)                 G          G
I started off a crazy kid, miracle I made it through the things I did
      D(9)/F#   D(9)/F#
The things I did

    G         D(9)/F#        Em             C(9)
Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
     G      G        D(9)/F#   D(9)/F#
'Til then I travel alone
      G        D(9)/F#       Em          C(9)
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
    G          D(9)/F#     C(9)   C(9)(#4)   C(9)(#4)   C(9)(#4)
And dream of a place called home

I had a chance to settle down, get a job, and live in town
Work in some old factory, I never liked a foreman standing over me
Over me

No, I'd rather walk a winding road, rather know the things I know
See the world with my own eyes, no regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes
No goodbyes

Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
'Til then I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And dream of a place called home

Em  Em  Em  Em    C(9)  C(9)  C(9)  C(9)   G  G  D(9)/F#  D(9)/F#
[instrumental with "na na na" etc.]

Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
'Til then I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
    G          D(9)/F#     C(9)  C(9)
And dream of a place called home
    G         D(9)/F#        Em             C(9)
Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
    G          D(9)/F#     C(9)   C(9)   C(9)(#4)   C(9)(#4)
And dream of a place called home
C(9)  C(9)  C(9)(#4)  C(9)(#4)
[ending]

  played on the A & D strings instead of E & A).
* The 7th and 8th measures are D(9)/F# (2x0230).
