I've Been Everywhere

C
I was totin' my pack along a dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
F
"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mac with me you can ride"
C
So I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
G
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
C
And I said, "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."
[Refrão]C
I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man
F
'Cross the deserts bare, man,
C
I've breathed the mountain air, man
G C
Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.
