          CAPO 2
  Intro:
E5E5   E5E5   E5E5  E5E5

  Verse 1:
E5E5
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
A5A5
Lifted some stones,Saw the skin and bones
   E5E5
Of a city without a soul
E5E5
I went out walking under an atomic sky
     A5A5
Where the ground won't turn,And the rain it burns
     E5E5
Like the tears when I said goodbye


  Chorus:
C# minorC#m       A5A5
Yeah I went with nothing
E5E5             B5B5
Nothing but the thought of you
    C# minorC#m
I went wandering

  Verse 2:
E5E5
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
   A5A5
Where men can't walk,Or freely talk
  E5E5
And sons turn their fathers in
E5E5
I stopped outside a church house,Where the citizens like to sit
   A5A5
They say they want the kingdom
     E5E5
But they don't want God in it
E5E5
I went out riding down that old eight lane
 A5A5
I passed by a thousand signs
E5E5
Looking for my own name

  Chorus:
   C# minorC#m     A5A5
Yeah I went with nothing
   E5E5          B5B5
But i thought youd be there too
          C# minorC#m
I was looking for you

  Bridge:
E5E5
I went out there in search of experience
     C# minorC#m       A5A5
To taste and to touch and to feel's as much
E5E5      B5B5     C# minorC#m
As a man can before he repents

  Link:
A5A5  B5B5  E5E5  E5E5

  Verse 3:
E5E5
I went out searching, looking for one good man
 A5A5
A augmentedA spirit who would not bend or break
     E5E5
Who could sit at his father's right hand
E5E5
I went out walking with a bible and a gun
  A5A5
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
   E5E5
I was sure I was the one
E5E5
Now Jesus, don't you wait up,Jesus, I'll be home soon
   A5A5
Yea I went out for the papers
E5E5
Told her I'd be back by noon


  Chorus:
   C# minorC#m     A5A5
Yeah I left with nothing
   E5E5          B5B5
But i thought youd be there too
          C# minorC#m
I was looking for you

  Link:
A5A5 B5B5  E5E5   E5E5

  Chorus:
   C# minorC#m     A5A5
Yeah I left with nothing
E5E5             B5B5
Nothing but the thought of you
      C# minorC#m
I went wandering

A5A5 B5B5  E5E5   E5E5
