The Wanderer

Intro: D D I went out walking through streets paved with gold, G D lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a city without a soul. D I went out walking under an atomic sky, G where the ground won't turn, and the rain it burns D like the tears when I said goodbye. Bm G D A Yeah, I went with nothing, nothing but the thought of you, Bm G A D I went wandering. D I went drifting through the capitals of tin, G D where men can't walk, or freely talk, and sons turn their fathers in. D I stopped outside a church house, where the citizens like to sit, G D they say they want the kingdom, but they don't want God in it. D I went out riding down that ol' eight lane, G D I passed by a thousand signs looking for my own name. Bm G D A I went with nothing, but the thought you'd be there, too, Bm G A D looking for you. D G D I went out there in search of experience, Bm G to taste and to touch and to feel as much D A Bm G A D as a man can before he repents. D I went out searching, lookin' for one good man, G a spirit who would not bend or break, D who would sit at his father's right hand. D I went out walking with a Bible and a gun, G D the word of God lay heavy on my heart, I was sure I was the one. D Now, Jesus, don't you wait up, Jesus, I'll be home soon, G D yeah, I went out for the papers, told her I'd be back by noon. Bm G D A Yeah, I left with nothing, but the thought you'd be there, too, Bm G A D looking for you. Bm G D A Yeah, I left with nothing, nothing but the thought of you, Bm G A D I went wandering.
