Walking Through The Wilderness
View chords used in this chart
E
I have started thinking that
F#m
the man who made the treasure map
E
never even really wanted
F#m G#m
us to find out where he hid the gold.
F#m
Woah
E
Driving through the round-about
F#m
it’s time for me to figure out
E
the pathway that will lead me out
F#m G#m
and leave me racing on the open road
F#m
Woah
E F#m
Woah 3x
G F#m E
Woah
E
On lonely nights I’m dreaming of
F#m
the chances that I’ve had at love
E
trying to go back again
F#m G#m
and bring with me a map to sail the seas
F#m
go with me
E
Suddenly I seem to find
F#m
that somehow I am stuck in time
E
following a crooked line
F#m G#m
created by the force of eastern winds
F#m
and once again
E F#m
And I’m, oh, walking through the wilderness
E F#m
with no hope of finding my way home
E F#m
and I’m, oh, walking through the wilderness
G F#m E
alone.____
E
It’s frightening to think that we
F#m
are spinning towards infinity
E
and treasures just a fantasy
F#m G#m
invented in a desperate, lonely dream
F#m
or so it seems
E
And maybe soon the words will rhyme
F#m
and everything we seek we’ll find
E
we’ll all be looking at the sky
F#m G#m
the treasure map in pieces at our feet
F#m
go with me
E F#m
And I’m, oh, walking through the wilderness
E F#m
with no hope of finding my way home
E F#m
and I’m, oh, walking through the wilderness
G F#m E
alone.____
E
I have started thinking that
F#m
the man who made the treasure map
E
never sat there wishing he could
F#m G#m
sit there and the treasure would be his
F#m
but now it is
E
Driving through the round about
F#m
I don’t think that I’ll figure out
E
a single thing while on the solid
F#m G#m
ground I’ve walked so many times before
F#m
I’m out the door.
E F#m
And I’m, oh, walking through the wilderness
E F#m
with no hope of finding my way home
E F#m
and I’m, oh, walking through the wilderness
G F#m
Alone
G F#m
Alone
G A E
