[Intro]
C F C Am G Dm7
C F C Am G Dm7
[Verse]
C F C
They had written "good luck" in blue party cups
Am G Dm7
In the holes of the chain link fence
C F C
And we were waving goodbye with tears in our eyes
Am G Dm7
At the trucks that disappeared around the bend
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am
My mother once said "son, you're a good man"
Dm Em F
Like she was trying to convince herself
Em Am
And my father once said "son, that's a good plan
Dm Em F G
If you woke up tomorrow and you were anybody else
[Chorus]
F G C
I've been looking for that grand old feeling
F G Am
The singing sparrow in the marrow of my bones
F G
Well I've heard there's nothing to it
C Am
They say that anyone can do it
F G C
I've been searching everywhere that I go
[Instrumental]
C F C Am G Dm7
Dm
[Verse]
C F C
Dirty snow falling on the fields out there
Am G Dm7
And on the Coffindaffer crosses by the road
C F C
And I was just a kid with gel in my hair
Am G Dm7
And mother gave me money for the tolls
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am
Y'know the whole world's over is just a parting hand
Dm Em7 F
And goodbye guys to send you on your way
Dm Am
'Cause there ain't no golden road that gets paved by man
Dm Em F G
It's just a trail that's getting colder with every dying day
[Chorus]
F G C
I've been looking for that grand old feeling
F G Am
The burning candle on the mantle of my soul
F G
On the highways and the hedges
C Am
And the dark and midnight exits
F G C
I've been searching everywhere that I go
[Break]
F C
And in that gloaming light of early nights
Dm C
The laughter by the water wide
F C G
Turning me and spurning forever
F C
And past the mobile homes and rotting bones
Dm C
Above-ground pools and prayer stones
F C G C
Grieving me and leaving me neveeeeer
[Chorus]
G F G C
I've been searching for that grand old feeling
F G Am
The singing sparrow in the marrow of my bones
F G
I've heard there's nothing to it
C Am
They say that anyone can do it
F G C
I've been searching everywhere that I go
[Instrumental/Solo]
C F C Am G Dm
C F C Am G Dm Dm
Alright
Dm7 Am Dm C F
Dm Am Dm C F G G G
[Chorus]
G F G C
I've been searching for that grand old feeling
F G Am
The singing sparrow in the marrow of my bones
F G
But I've heard there's nothing to it
C Am
They say that anyone can do it
F G C
I've been searching everywhere that I go
[Outro]
F G C
I've been searching everywhere that I go
F G C C C C
I've been searching everywhere that I go
F C
Am G Dm
