        JIMMY LAFAVE

CAPO: 3rd FRET

INTRO:
G Em  G Em  G Em  G Em

VERSE:
G         Em
 Maybe, baby, I`m crazy
 G          C
But I`m down on my knees
G       Em
 I want you to go
           D  C
Come and go with me please

VERSE:
G             Em
 This life you`re living, honey
 G        C
You die day at a time
G            Em
 There`s something that calls
       D  C
Make up your mind


CHORUS:
G D C  D   G      D   C D
Ba-a-by, let`s watch all the rivers flow
G D C    D     G
 Ba-by, you gotta get young
  D      C D
Before you get old
G   D    C D
 Come on, come on
 G   D    C
Lighten up your load
 D      G
There ain`t nothin`
  Em   C
But you and me
    D   G G C D G G C D G
And an open road


VERSE;
 G           Em
`Cause we were born to wander
G            C
Oh, we were not born to lose
G           Em
I must follow distant thunder
         D  C
Or I`ll get the blues


VERSE:
 G         Em
And the lightning flashing
 G            C
Reveals a dream in your eyes
 G         Em
And the message it sends
      D  C
Is hard to deny


CHORUS:
G D   C  D   G      D   C D
Ba-a-by, baby let`s watch all the rivers flow
G D C      D     G
Ba-a-by, you`re gonna get young
  D      C D
Before you get old
G D     C   D
 Out in the distance
G    D     C
Let the four winds blow
 D      G
There ain`t nothin`
  Em   C
But you and me
    D   G G C D G G C D
And the open road


BREAK:
C
 It`s a highway trance
          G   G
Babe you`ve fallen under
 C
Love forever
           D
On a road that never ends, oh, oh, oh


VERSE:
 G        Em
Border town in Dakota
 G           C
Where the Missouri runs wide
 G             Em
We`ll cross the piggyback bridge there
         D  C
Reach the other side


VERSE:
G         Em
 Listen to the ghost dance
G         C
In the valley of gold
 G            Em
Where the ones who understand
        D
Respect the buffalo
 C
Woh, oh, oh, oh


CHORUS:
G D C  D   G      D   C D
Ba-a-by, let`s watch all the rivers flow
G D C    D     G
Ba-a-by, you gotta get young
  D      C D
Before you get old
 G  D    C D
Come on, come on
 G   D    C
Lighten up your load
 D      G
There ain`t nothin`
  Em   C
But you and me
 D      G
There ain`t nothin`
  Em   C
But you and me
 D      G
There ain`t nothin`
  Em   C
But you and me
    D   G G
And the open road


OUTRO:

Goodbye, baby, I am gone
