I've Been Everywhere (in Texas)

G Well I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Amarillo road G when along came a semi with a high and canvas covered load. C7 or C (C7 sounds better) “If you’re goin’ to Amarillo, Mack,I'll give you a ride,” G and so I climbed up in the cab and then I settled down inside. D He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much dust and sand, G and I said, “listen, bud, I’ve traveled every road in this here land...” (at the end of the word "land" he plays a little riff to open up the G chord on the lowE string and speed up the song, like this) E|-0-1-2-| and then into the G chord CHORUS: G I’ve been everywhere, man, I’ve been everywhere, man, C7 I’ve crossed the deserts bare, man, G breathed the mountain air, man, D of travel I’ve had my share, man, C7 G I’ve been everywhere.
