Intro C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF

C majorC     G+G         A minorAm
You knew I could not stay for long
     E minorEm        FF
when you asked me To come over
    DmDm        G+G    G7G7 C majorC
in the wee hours of the mornin
     E minorEm        A minorAm        E minorEm
I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin`
  FF        A minorAm       G+G    G7G7 E MajorE
And that is why I`ve givin` you fair warnin`

        E7E7
And though you might have loved me
A minorAm      C majorC
like I never ever have been
FF      DmDm         E minorEm
Loved before your front door is open
     A minorAm       G+G   G7G7 C majorC
And I`ve got to keep on movin`


     G+G        A minorAm       E minorEm
So I will stay with you a while and then I`ll
    FF           DmDm      G+G   G7G7
Let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna`
C majorC      E minorEm       A minorAm
Because I`ve got to keep on searchin
    E minorEm          FF
for the dream that I`ve been seekin`
    A minorAm       G+G    G7G7 E MajorE
Since I left my home in Oklahoma


       E7E7       A minorAm        C majorC
And who`s to say but that I might not be back tomorrow
   FF         DmDm       E minorEm
If I find there`s only sorrow you may see me
     FF      G+G       G7G7 G+G
from your window sill next mornin`

G7G7  C majorC    E minorEm     A minorAm      G+G
I`m a drifter  and I`ve seen the rain
   C majorC    E minorEm     DmDm
I`m a drifter  and I`ve felt the pain the
G+G          A minorAm     C majorC
pain that comes with loneliness
   FF         E minorEm  FF       E minorEm
So I drift from town to town searchin` all around
FF        E minorEm      DmDm   G+G
Lookin` for the answer to my sorrow
      FF       G+G        G7G7   C majorC   FF
And if the answer is you  then I`ll be back tomorrow

C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF


C majorC       G+G       A minorAm        E minorEm
Let`s make the most of time before the break of day
     FF       DmDm       G+G   G7G7 C majorC
But don`t try to make me stay if I don`t want to
       G+G       A minorAm         E minorEm
Because I`ve got to keep on searchin` for that dream
       FF        DmDm      G+G     G7G7 E MajorE
And you can`t bind me with the simple words I love you


     E7E7     A minorAm          C majorC
But if I realize the dream that I`ve been searchin` for
  FF      DmDm
Is waitin` here behind your door
   E minorEm        A minorAm        G+G     G7G7 G+G
Then I`ll come back to stay if you still want me to


G7G7  C majorC    E minorEm      A minorAm      G+G
I`m a drifter   and I`ve seen the rain
   C majorC    E minorEm     FF
I`m a drifter  and I`ve felt the pain the
G+G     G7G7     A minorAm     C majorC
pain that comes with loneliness
   FF         E minorEm  FF       E minorEm
So I drift from town to town searchin` all around
FF        E minorEm      DmDm
Lookin` for the answer to my sorrow
      FF       G+G       G7G7   C majorC   FF
And if the answer is you  then I`ll be back tomorrow
