   Intro:
E5     E5     E5    E5


   Verse 1:
E5
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
A5
Lifted some stones,Saw the skin and bones
     E5
Of a city without a soul
E5
I went out walking under an atomic sky
          A5
Where the ground won't turn,And the rain it burns
         E5
Like the tears when I said goodbye

Chorus:
C#m              A5
Yeah I went with nothing
E5                         B5
Nothing but the thought of you
       C#m
I went wandering

   Verse 2:
E5
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
      A5
Where men can't walk,Or freely talk
    E5
And sons turn their fathers in
E5
I stopped outside a church house,Where the citizens like to sit
     A5
They say they want the kingdom
         E5
But they don't want God in it
E5
I went out riding down that old eight lane
  A5
I passed by a thousand signs
E5
Looking for my own name


   Chorus:
     C#m         A5
Yeah I went with nothing
      E5                    B5
But i thought youd be there too
                   C#m
I was looking for you

   Bridge:
E5
I went out there in search of experience
         C#m              A5
To taste and to touch and to feel's as much
E5           B5          C#m
As a man can before he repents

   Verse 3:
E5
I went out searching, looking for one good man
  A5
A spirit who would not bend or break
          E5
Who could sit at his father's right hand
E5
I went out walking with a bible and a gun
    A5
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
      E5
I was sure I was the one
E5
Now Jesus, don't you wait up,Jesus, I'll be home soon
      A5
Yea I went out for the papers
E5
Told her I'd be back by noon


   Chorus:
     C#m         A5
Yeah I left with nothing
      E5                    B5
But i thought youd be there too
                   C#m
I was looking for you

   Link:
A5  B5   E5     E5

   Chorus:
     C#m         A5
Yeah I left with nothing
E5                         B5
Nothing but the thought of you
            C#m
I went wandering
