A D A D
[Verse 1]
A D
Well the car broke down somewhere near Memphis
A D
About another forty miles to go
A D
Here we were stranded in the middle of nowhere
A D
We were freezing in the falling snow
C#m D
And if we only had a map or compass
C#m D
'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea
E
Which way to go
[Interlude]
A D A D
[Verse 2]
A E
Well should we walk and then in what direction
A E
Or do we stay inside this wrecked machine?
A E
Or should we try to find a petrol station
A E
And make a fire with the gasoline?
C#m D
And if we only had some food or water
C#m D
'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea
E
Which way to go
[Interlude]
A D A D
A D A D
[Bridge]
A D
After a week we were getting real hungry
A D
Sick and tired of playing guitar
A D
A truck drove by, this unlucky guy
A D
We prepared him for dinner and took his car
[Interlude]
A D A D
A D A D
A D A D
A D A D
[Verse 3]
A D
So we hit the road and headed for the city
A D
When we got there, no one said a word
A D
Here we were sitting looking at each other
A D
With a question mark above our heads
C#m D
And if we only had a reason to be here
C#m D
'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea
E A D
What I'm doing in here
[Outro]
A D A D
